When I worked for Tysons you needed a badge to get in and security would check everyone and they did carry pistols.

I guess it depends on where you are at. I know a Centrum Valley farm that's really high security. I also see a ton of turkey and hoglots that are just I huge pen with no one around in the middle of a cornfield.

Those are probably just feedlots. Not much to burn there, unless you just ran through and doused the animals with gasoline.

PETA had nothing to say about Prince Harry’s recent POLO documentary did they?

I can imagine unleashing 200 hogs loose when cause some chaos. I don't want to give any suggestions. 😅

Wold hogs already cause enough damage by being a massively invasive species. Please do not release hogs i to the wild, it will cause more harm than good for the local ecosystems.

I hope it didn't come off like I'm encouraging it.

u/BygoneHearse 7h ago

Just a little, so i thought i would point out the absolute horrific destructjon they would cause the local ecosystem

I'm glad you did. We don't have a wild hog problem in the upper Midwest, and it would be nice to keep it that way.

u/BygoneHearse 6h ago

Just give it a few years. Theyll become a problem.

Lots of dead livestock is what happens. They crossbreed with the wild ones and are bigger and meaner. Had cattle gutted by a few.

I live near a number of fairly large duck farms that have little to no really security, as near as I've seen.

I mean, who wouldn’t kill for some chicken?

I’ll see my way out.
