Pretty sure I passed this going south on M40 this afternoon c. 5.30? Looks a credit to its former owner.

Do they taste different to commercial pork?

there used to be a market for them to Germany, as wild boar
I’m guessing they would taste different to commercial pork, but I personally wouldn’t eat them. They are a MAJOR pest animal in Australia & carry a lot of disease. I’ve also seen what they eat in lean times
I think there is a very good reason the Old Testament forbade Jews & Moslems from eating pork
We’re trying to organise neighbours to all pitch in for a helicopter gunship to aerial shoot them over a big area

we can have mobs of literally hundreds here, they are an imported feral pest, cause massive environmental damage & financial loss in grain crops & are major vectors of disease.
It is illegal to keep or transport live feral pigs.
As landowners it is our legal responsibility to control them, with full support, backing & assistance from our State & Federal governments
Every Green & environmental group wants them controlled as well.
The only real issue that people worry about is wether methods are humane or not, but there is universal agreement they need to be controlled

We have the same over here. We call them footpath walkers.

I was being flippant with the comparison, but it does appear that the oz govt takes a more common sense approach to pests than over here. Be careful though, Chris Packham might take a holiday someday!

ALL native animals here are protected by law, but there is a very clear distinction between natives & feral species.
We do have very strict environmental laws, as we should. Part of that is controlling feral species.
as I said, the ONLY concern about controlling feral pigs is if the methods are humane or not
if anyone came here suggesting they shouldn’t be
