    The whole feral hog problem in the south started from the escaped domesticated hogs of European settlers. Hogs are very adaptable animals, breed like crazy and are voracious omnivores.

    You just answered my question. I used to work for a trucking company in northeast KS and they had a livestock division. I was getting my hopper washed out in our wash bay and a pig hauler was in there waiting for his trailer to come out of the oven and we were just shooting the ####. He said he got kicked out of Triumph in St. Joe for 30 days for calling a pig an idiot, I thought he was joking. He said they were on him like white on rice when he said it and he went on to say “if I woulda kept saying what I was really thinking I’d never be allowed back”. Something about animal cruelty I guess he was saying?

    So swearing at them and calling them names is cruelty. Ok then. But what about what is going to happen when you unload them? I think they might pick being cussed out if they were choosing.

    I learned after a few trips up to the feeding station with the boys reloading their stuff that if it walks on by itself I want nothing to do with it. Going to have to rework my retirement plans. Obviously that school bus thing isn’t going to work.

    Yea I guess I have no idea like I said that’s just what this guy was tellin me and I thought he was kidding until @Catmando just mentioned something about it. I dunno if it’s like plant policy no foul language, or if it’s something to do with animal cruelty and not wanting to stress the animal out I have no clue what the reasoning is. The latter is my guess, but it’s just that just a guess.
