cbcnewsbc Bounty Hunters are loading their amo. The rats left Alberta didn't they? Same difference. Just have a few more pig roasts that's all.

cbcnewsbc Ontario needs to export their hides for hats program to the other Provinces. It’s the most effective soooooweeeetest $100000 dollar program in the world.

cbcnewsbc find it hard to believe a species living within the laws of nature is causing an 'ecological disaster'. now, in comparison to the 'human' species, that as yet acts like it owns or exists outside said ecosystem... maybe focus on research that sees us cleaning up 'our' disaster?

cbcnewsbc Blame the pigs.

cbcnewsbc Time for some bacon

cbcnewsbc

cbcnewsbc Any one up for Wild Canadian Bacon?

cbcnewsbc Kalua pork roast!!

cbcnewsbc So now what? Men will intervene in nature....lol...only when it suits mankind Hey!!!

cbcnewsbc Too many in Toronto?

cbcnewsbc Bacon!

cbcnewsbc Ontario also has a prolific invasive mammal he's an ecological disaster too.

cbcnewsbc I'd take a side of gamey bacon over asian carp every day. At least the hogs are easier to reduce if the government allowed commoners to assist, the carps aren't so easy to spot, even with the most safisticated equipment.

cbcnewsbc Gives a new meaning to ' living high on the hog'!

cbcnewsbc Soyulent green

cbcnewsbc Oh Canada, do I sense a new Hog Tax in the works ?

cbcnewsbc A solution might be to stop killing so many of the predators (i.e. wolves, cougars) that might kill and feed on these wild pigs.

cbcnewsbc Wait what? I thought humans were the climate villains and humans alone. Please get your narratives right. Simple solution. Instead of your other favourite narrative involving seizing guns from legal gun owners, instead, open up a massive hunting season, issue tags-no more issue

cbcnewsbc Humans are causing an ecological disaster

cbcnewsbc I trust them more than conservative governments.
