And we thought we had a problem in this country. With Canada's spars population, this could get out of hand fast.

University of Saskatchewan scientists have been documenting the spread of wild boars since the 1990s as the rogue pigs have infiltrated the Prairie provinces, southern and central Ontario, western Quebec and southern British Columbia. A 2019 study headed by Ryan Brook, lead researcher for the Canadian Wild Pig Research Project, found the feral pigs had increased their range by nearly 90,000 square kilometres per year between 2011 and 2017. In July 2023, there was even a possible sighting in the Northwest Territories.

The pigs must have heard about Justinian's gun control measures.

These are wild boars so they can tolerate pretty harsh conditions. They survive in Scandinavian countries and central Europe. And obviously they are doing well in central Canada noted for long cold winters.

AMAZING to watch these guys - they make it look easy.

I also enjoyed the guy opening up with the Dillon M134 belt fed six barrel machine gun.

Thanks for posting the link.

It might get pretty pricey to keep spraying them with the mini gun.
