Re: Woman killed by feral hogs outside Texas home: ‘One of the worst things I've ever seen’

during the texas revolution, homesteaders let their hogs
out when they put their families out of harms way and formed
an army to fight the dictator, santa anna, for mexico.

that is what started the hog problem in texas.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77067288


In the book, "12 Years A Slave", there are stories of how the early farmers and plantation owners in Louisiana operated livestock.

He said they purposely released both hogs and cattle into the swamps and forests. When they needed meat, they hunted the feral animals with packs of dogs from horseback.

Thus, they had a secure supply of meat year round when needed.

Slaves were allotted a few pounds of pork to go along with their corn ration every week.

Ref the other poster and the Great Depression, YES, feral hogs could become a great food resource during hard times.

BTW, where I was trapping hogs in Houston County, TX a few years back, we gave the smallest piglets that we trapped to a local farmer. He vaccinated and wormed them before raising them to market size.

I was hunting on a huge farm/ranch that had been accumulated in the early 1900s. The owner was the son of freed slaves. He had studied agriculture and had a college degree.

He got rich by renting land to other black folks who were share croppers. The blacks trusted him as one of their own and he did not cheat them on the terms of the share cropping agreement.

This enterprise was so profitable that he ended up owning thousands of acres of farmland when he died.

That part of Texas was deeply prejudiced against blacks, but some managed to become quite successful despite the limitations.

As a lesson learned I observed that black people in the South were MORE successful when they were struggling against prejudice. The literacy rate was HIGHER when the whites actively tried to keep blacks from learning to read and write.

Not intuitively obvious!
 Quoting: darth


That book may have been fiction.

However, some scholars have found evidence it was true.

Don't have a citation for that, however.

Nonetheless, kidnapping of free black people to be sold as slaves DID occur. That is well documented.

"12 Years a Slave" was a best seller in the USA in the 1850s and helped the abolitionist cause.

Slavery was a stain on our country, but we eradicated it, at least at the time.

Now, it's back along with drug cartels, human smuggling, etc.

If Daenerys was here, she would be roasting cartel thugs.

Where I live in Arizona, there is a family of javelinas that have lived on property for years. We rarely see them but this year, I've seen them more than in all the 14 years I've lived here. The other night, about 9:30PM, ten javelinas including babies, some adults and one HUGE adult walked right by me and acted as if I wasn't even there. Completely ignored me. Thank God. I gotta say, the babies were very cute.

It's all fun & games until the Dogman stands up

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Shit! What a ride!"

In times of trouble, I ask myself, "What would Sarah Conner do?"

Be careful.

They will kill you on a whim, they are very dangerous.

Yes but they will both hunt you as you hunt them.

They are intelligent, fast and deadly to the untrained person.

Re: Woman killed by feral hogs outside Texas home: ‘One of the worst things I've ever seen’
A woman was attacked and killed by a group of feral hogs Sunday morning outside the Southeast Texas home where she worked as a caretaker, authorities said.

Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said in a press conference Monday that Christine Rollins, 59, arrived around 6 to 6:30 a.m. when she was attacked at the Anahuac home, located 40 miles east of Houston.

The 84-year-old woman who has been under her care for almost two years went outside and found Rollins in the front yard between her car and the front door, Hawthorne told reporters.

He said Rollins had a severe head wound and several other injuries consistent with different sized bites indicating multiple animals were involved.

How could one be stupid enough to get out of their car when they see a pack of hogs? I guess some people are just still unaware of the danger some animals present. Perhaps she only heard about "pot bellied pigs" as pets. I was warned early on in my life and through reading books, that wild hogs are dangerous. I wouldn't even trust a pack of domestic hogs. I was told, they will eat you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78191676

We were down in Big Bend National Park, way down by the Rio Grande river in Texas camping. We were sitting outside with our dog when she started to bark, we turned around and there were a pack of javelina’s bearing down on us. We flew into the camper just in time. If it wasn’t for our dog we wouldn’t even had known they were there!

Instead of declaring open season you have to get a license or be fined even though they might eat your baby? Sounds like australia

Florida Inmate's Murder-for-Hire Plot Called for Feeding Bodies to Pigs, Alligators

In October, a note circulated in the Marion County Jail that talked about murder — and feeding body parts to pigs and alligators.

Inmate says he wanted ex-girlfriend, her kids dead, so he hired cellmate
Cellmate asked Gary Bangstad to write up contract, then turned him in
Contract reportedly called for murder victims to be fed to pigs, alligators
The note was allegedly written by 76-year-old inmate Gary Bangstad, a former college professor with several degrees.

In a jailhouse interview, Bangstad told Spectrum News that at some point, he fell in love with a woman. But now, he wants to kill her, along with her two children.
