i'd be a little more worried about the water situation in jackson, mississippi than the SW, not to mention the nytimes is still a piece of crap shown time after time to have no "journalistic" integrity

"The NY Times has no journalistic integrity! Here's a link from Fox News."

This really is a parody account, isn't it?

Pardon me for sharing an article on the topic that has well laid out sources and historical citations. I should have known better. Go ahead and stick your head back into the sand, man.

'Incredibly intelligent, highly elusive': US faces new threat from Canadian 'super pig'
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/20/us-threat-canada-super-pig-boar

"For decades, wild pigs have been antagonizing flora and fauna in the US: gobbling up crops, spreading disease, and even killing deer and elk.

Now, as fears over the potential of the pig impact in the US grow, North America is also facing a new swine-related threat, as a Canadian "super pig", a giant, "incredibly intelligent, highly elusive" beast capable of surviving cold climates by tunneling under snow, is poised to infiltrate the north of the country."

[tower912]

Don't they already have a similar super pig problem in Texas?  (yes, the jokes are writing themselves.   But seriously, doesn't Texas have a wild pig problem?)

Yes, I think it alludes to it in the article, but people pay good money to go up in helicopters to shoot them with automatic weapons.

Being Canadian, I imagine these new superpigs are very polite.

You are the 🐷🐷.

But, if I had to be a pig, I'd be a super pig vs a beta pig like you are.
