raz12: Don't worry, they're in America now and once in, the population of them will more than triple in less than two years. And then they will gradually venture further south and once they meet up with and start interbreeding with the southern wild pigs then you're going to get super can/am pigs and they will run amuck....Greetings from Canada
Wild pigs aren't the bugaboo they're made out to be. That's great pork, ham, and bacon. Believe me, after the collapse of civilization, you'll be happy to have wild pigs around. Eating pigs sure beats eating other people! 😟
Unrestricted hunting almost eliminated alligators, until they were protected. I have no doubt the same would help a lot in this case as well. A concerted effort by both Canada and the United States to eliminate them would do it. Remove any restrictions on hunting wild pigs.
Down here is Florida there is no restriction to hunt them. You don't even need a hunting license just permission from the owner of the land... And they are still a problem.
Anchor: so what the difference between these Canadian super pigs to the American wild pigs that we already have in here? Reporter: I think they prefer to have Tim Hortons over Starbucks
I used to live next to a town called Southlake in Texas. Very wealthy town, like they dont allow apartments in this town type of wealth. But the wild hogs got so bad the local police/government allowed ANYONE at ANYTIME to shoot on sight. No hunting license required. Doesn't matter if it was on the side of road or walking through someone's yard. They were serious about that
There has been an ongoing problem with offspring of escaped domestic pigs interbred with German wild boars that had escaped from a game preserve In northern New England for many years. I recall an afternoon when a herd showed up around the Sunapee ( N.H. ) High School, and they couldn't let the kids out to go home until they found a way to get the pigs to depart. The guy with the deer rifle turned the tide, but the incident went on for hours. Another time, several miles west of there, a lone surveyor was surprised by a crew of them, and was chased into an apple tree, where he spent the better part of the day before he felt safe enough to scram back to his car. He said the critters were clever, and pretended to wander off, but stayed close by, but out of sight, and would occasionally thunder back en mass to his tree to see if he was still around. These critters are for real!
Yeah our wolves will eradicate any type of pig invasion. Just curious about where in Northern Ab. you are talking about? I live in High Level and years ago I had heard they had made their way up around Valleyview and Peace River, are they gone from there now?
There not wiped out in northern alberta, there's 1000's of them still running loose ,I know where there's several hundred animals, iv seen them several times
A 2,000 lbs, 5 ft at the shoulder super hog is larger than most bear. I don't see wolves taking out bear and I sure don't see them taking out these super intelligent hogs. If anything I expect to see an extinction of the wolves as the hogs find them tasty!
They've mostly exploded in the prairies you won't see them out east, I live in the heart of the Saskatchewan you rarely see them during the day anyway mostly at night.

You extinct the millions of bisons, you chopped down the oldest forest in the world, 4000year old trees(Redwood), but you can't make ham and bacon from some mutated pigs. Are you normal?
Yes, it's not exactly a new problem in Texas and other states. There's even a certain amount of tourism around the hunting of feral pigs in some states.
Well I think the main problem is that these are Canadian hogs who will go places the current hogs wont. If they're able to meet up with the southern hog population and hybridize, that can make them even worse.
I live in Texas too and I saw them for the second time in my life in the woods recently.. scary stuff. I’m seeing their track marks more and more now too.
In Australia we find trapping far superior to shooting. Trapping is silent and we can get a whole mob, shooting only gets a percentage and just frightens off survivors that learn from the experience. We trapped 1205 in first week.
Sounds like a sound efficient conservational plan. For those that don't get it the hogs are still killed but it allows you to gather them up first making it far more efficient. Look it up on RUclips they boast catching 20+ hogs in a small trap and disposing of them.

Parts of this story sound made up like Canadian farmers letting pigs go because the market went down. The same thing happened to my stepfamily’s pig farm in the 90’s. You still sell the pigs off, you just won’t make as much for them, but you certainly aren’t going to simply release them. Are you going to just let $500. or $1000. go into the wild??
If it costs more to ship them to the meat packers than you'd get for them ... yeah. And if a sow just farrowed and you don't want the feed cost to raise the piglets, because you won't get back your costs .... just open the gate.
Seen a half dozen of them just northwest of Toronto. All of southern Ontario is crop land and they’re thriving. They eat ducklings, goslings, fawns, snakes, everything they can get their teeth into. I’m in Ottawa now and it’s one of the top 5 beasts I would rather not meet on a trail. Other four being an angry bull moose, black bear sow, pack of coyotes, and now mountain lions are back.

Yikes😱! Saw a large pack of healthy-looking wolves crossing a frozen pond in Uxbridge. Beautiful but terrifying, yanked my doggo back into the house fast!
I live in Saskatchewan. Avid hunter and outdoorsman, spending hundreds of hours scouting every year. They are saying there are more wild boar in this province than people ( population 1.1 million ). I have yet to see one, or any tracks or sign. If there was that many, I'm sure I'd have seen something by now.
I also live in Saskatchewan. I have never seen a pedophile in all the time I have lived here. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty around. Especially within the Regina area. many people from Regina are known liars and reprobates.
I was just thinking this. I spent 10 years drilling oil all through out South East Sask and hunted every fall when I was there. I have never seen one or know anyone that has
You can tell she was like, thinking this was all the joke when she asked him was there any encounters of people with the super pigs, you can see the little smirk on her face and like she wanted laugh.
This person--Hallie Jackson--was not paying attention to the story. They said a woman in Texas was killed by one of these feral pigs and she asks, "Have there been any encounters with like, regular people and these things?" Great interviewing there. She thinks it's so hilarious until one chases her down the street.
As the other commentors have already implied--there are no "super pigs" in Texas. They are in the far northern states that are bordering Canada eh. But yes, her attitude is a little too cavalier imo. Don't ever forget that media is one of the top 10 preferred professions of folks on the ASPD spectrum (formerly called psychopaths or sociopaths) that are "higher functioning".
I’m sure some have come from Canada as of late but the lower states has had this issue for over a decade. Nice to see the media trying to pin it solely on another country
Yeah Matt, because it’s all Canada’s fault aye? You were caught with your pants down aye? Not the “nice guys” of the world any longer aye? Now bring me Tim Horton’s head on a plate aye?
But they didn’t pin it solely on another country? They mentioned that the US already has a problem and now getting more pigs from the north isn’t going to make it better.
I'm an old-school pig farmer (pasture and pen farrow, no crates). That hog at 2:43 only looks slightly feral, looks like it has Berkshire in it, if I had to guess. I had some Berk boars a few years ago that were fairly close to this.
Why are crates bad? My stepfamily had a few crates but mostly they had pastures and pens. Btw I knew nothing about farming when my mom married into that family and I couldn’t wait to stop pig farming when I left for college. Curious about the crates though.
I live in Saskatchewan and this guy has been "sounding the alarm" for the better part of the last 10 years. He loves media attention. Sure, wild boar live in Saskatchewan, as they do almost everywhere else in the States, but only NOW is he calling them "super pigs". He sure hasn't been calling them super pigs this entire time.
You could use those huge traps where it catches the whole group with the Alpha Male with it. Trapping is the best option if don't want them adapting to avoid game hunters. But allowing hunters to put them down should also be an option as long as the hunters are informed enough and organized enough to scare strays away into a certain direction so they could still tract them and eventually corner them in a small area in the long run. Those singular traps they are using would barely make a dent on their numbers and basically doesn't work. They would reproduce way faster than the amount you would be catching with that thing.
U guys should issue bounties like we did in Canada 75 bucks for a pair of ears of these wild boar U can stuff your deep freeze full of meat and make money
So everyone seems to have forgotten the stories of super pigs living in the bayou from the 90’s. 1/2 ton goliaths were photoed for many articles with proud southern boys covered in swamp mud…
The solution is simple: we have to learn to live with wolves again. They are a part of this world & were here before us. They use to roam everywhere & were killed off for business interests, like ranching. My sister lives in Iowa & deer are so numerous they are considered pest like a rat or a roach because they have no natural predators to control the herds.
@@nomaderic the solution is still the same: learn to live with them, be it by NOT living with them with encroachment outside a city or take measures to protect your pets by keeping them indoors or having good fencing. People should understand that’s the risk you take to maintain the balance of life. This is akin to the people who buy land or a house next to an airport then complain about the noise & the danger.. Don’t move out into country if you aren’t willing to take the risk (read “risk” as learning to coexist with our brethren, we are all part of this world). Texas, just so you know & don’t jump to conclusions, I hunt, mostly wild boar. I’m softy when it comes to animals but I recognize that is the way of things. Predation is what keeps the balance.
@e marr3 I'm a nomad I hike and backpack all over the country and spend lots of time in the wilderness. I grew up in the country as well so I've had my fair share of run ins with wildlife. Everything needs a balance or else things can get out of wack very quickly. If humans stopped hunting today deer and hogs would overrun the country extremely quickly. Hunting is a necessity for us just as any other predator. I used to have a large fish pond and it was the same concept. I had to "harvest" fish otherwise the whole pond ecosystem will collapse and all the fish will suffer
@@nomaderic facts I live in Arkansas and when deer hunting is out of season deer are everywhere and can cause car accidents out of nowhere. They randomly sit on the side of the highway at night and will jump out in front of the car.
There already are large aggressive feral pigs that multiply profusely all along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida; very destructive and hard to control. 😟🐗
While I might agree that they are large, aggressive, feral pigs that are destructive and hard to control; name calling usually isn’t very productive for political discourse.
@@makslargu5799 I was speaking of the actual animals, nothing political. 🙄 My parents' subdivision is overrun in Texas by feral hogs that dig up people's yards, are very aggressive, attack pets, smart in evading capture, & multiply profusely. 🤤 Have seen the damage they have done in Alabama & Florida as well. The pythons are worst in Florida though! 😨 Don't know where your mind is! 🤔
Yeah I live in Florida so when I'm in the woods I look out for snakes or gators but the scariest thing I ever encountered was a pack of like 30 wild boars all I can say was thank God a river was close by because I run slow af. I was Michael Phelps that day.
We sent you wolves. We are sending you cougars. We have lots of grizzlies and an unlimited supply of black bears. Now, release the porcine!! SURRENDER.
I lived in both northern and southern Ontario, and Northern BC Canada and I've never seen them. Not in the country or in the mountains. I had no idea..
Im about 90% sure that this news piece is ignoring the fact that we have been fighting to stoping the pigs from the states entering Canada for years lol never in my life have I see or heard of wild hogs here and I lived in southern Ontario, Alberta, and Sask lol
They are an invasive species therefore on the rise, we have them in New Zealand for the same reason, they were bred by farmers and escaped. Hunting them is permitted anytime and popular for hunters around the world. Canada and USA could turn it into hunting tourism as well
instinct takes them to areas where people will have gardens acers of corn and grain, anything wild will eventually find its way there, i live in WV and we've had bears come right into town, and a bear will attack a child or pets if it hungry enough
Canadian super pigs, as a Canadian never heard that term before just wild pigs. But I'm also not surprised when I start thinking of other animals here...such as polar bears, wolverines, grizzlies, mountain lions, wolves, moose and the absolute worst of the bunch geese.
We have those animals here too, Utah, our polar bear our brown though... We also have bison, pronghorn, elk, mountain goats, I enjoy the Canadian geese though.
It's what we Americans do, sensationalize anything we don't understand. Remember, we blame Canada for all the winter weather. Seems our own stupidity gets in the way a lot.
Oh...we have a similar "super pig" breed in Nigeria... Very destructive. I remember when I was a kid...these pigs were damaging the roots of our flowers on our lawn. I remember we were breaking old florescent bulbs under the roots to wound them, but for some reason, they were eating the glass.
Yeah - but they are Southern pigs. These Canadian pigs are big and furry and cold adapted. If you dumped them in Arkansas they'd probably die of heat stroke.
@@debeichmann236 Our Texas ranch has sounders of 40-80 feral hogs which move at night and a 5 round deer rifle is nowhere enough firepower. This is not hunting for the farmers. It is eradication of an invasive species. Farmers are losing millions. A caregiver was killed and partially consumed in a driveway outside Houston. A 500 pound feral hog was killed on a San Antonio Golf course. This is an out of control problem in Texas.
Very interesting report makes me think back to my own experiences with animals when I was a little boy puppies kittens found them all to be very friendly happy and love the touch of human beings compassionate hand. Well, when I got home from Vietnam couldn’t get a job went through office application after application finally got a job in a meatpacking plant at the front line of the slaughterhouse slaughtering pigs. None of them wanted to die. Many of them cried like babies, so once I watch this report, I can understand why a creature would want to survive. That’s the road the creator set them on just like all of us but as I get older, I can still hear the squeals screams and cries of those little pigs and big pigs.
U havnt been paying attention. Over a year ago we were given permission to hunt them for bounty of 75 bucks If ppl wanted they could quit their job and make a living hunting them
Canadian Super Pigs! Raised on Labatt's Blue and Molson Canadian! Keith's IPA and Moosehead too! There used to be a pig barn across the road from me. So that is where they got to. They must have gone south through Roxham Road...
Had no idea this was an issue in Canada. Makes sense given the context. In the movie "The Revenant" (which took place in grizz country Montana/Dakotas) had wild pigs in one scene. I always thought that was interesting as this is not an issue in those states even now.
@@2drealms196 definitely not sensationalism, they are a a plague to North America. There should be no limit, free tag, year round hunting on these feral animals.
You do know how destructive this pigs are and how fast they can reproduce if Canada has a swine outbreak right? There is literally nothing to love about this.
I'm sure the pigs (and many other animals) would argue that humans are the largest and most invasive species on the planet. I guess it's all a matter or perspective. :-)

I live in Saskatchewan. Avid hunter and outdoorsman, spending hundreds of hours scouting every year. They are saying there are more wild boar in this province than people ( population 1.1 million ). I have yet to see one, or any tracks or sign. If there was that many, I'm sure I'd have seen something by now.
Canada is huge and 🐷 outsmart you!
I totally agree with you, I'm also a hunter and live in the country with lots of pig habitat and have never seen them
I also live in Saskatchewan. I have never seen a pedophile in all the time I have lived here. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty around. Especially within the Regina area. many people from Regina are known liars and reprobates.
I was just thinking this. I spent 10 years drilling oil all through out South East Sask and hunted every fall when I was there. I have never seen one or know anyone that has
It’s just another scare tactic, also an avid hunter with time spent on the prairies and seen everything but pigs.
If only there existed a technology like an AR-15 that could bring down such horrible beasts….
I got robbed one time and was about to get shot until one of these Super Pigs saved my life. Thank you Super Pig
Wait fr??
🤣
You can tell she was like, thinking this was all the joke when she asked him was there any encounters of people with the super pigs, you can see the little smirk on her face and like she wanted laugh.
This person--Hallie Jackson--was not paying attention to the story. They said a woman in Texas was killed by one of these feral pigs and she asks, "Have there been any encounters with like, regular people and these things?" Great interviewing there. She thinks it's so hilarious until one chases her down the street.
She was talking about the Canadian pigs.
You weren't paying attention because she said super pig. The woman in Texas wasn't killed by a super pig.
As the other commentors have already implied--there are no "super pigs" in Texas. They are in the far northern states that are bordering Canada eh.
But yes, her attitude is a little too cavalier imo. Don't ever forget that media is one of the top 10 preferred professions of folks on the ASPD spectrum (formerly called psychopaths or sociopaths) that are "higher functioning".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 a super pig will never chase Hallie Jackson down the street
@@justinw1765 what is the difference between a super pig and a texan pig?
My son was almost killed by a super pig when travelling … in Hawai. Seems they are everywhere…
I’m sure some have come from Canada as of late but the lower states has had this issue for over a decade. Nice to see the media trying to pin it solely on another country
Beyond pathetic
Yeah Matt, because it’s all Canada’s fault aye? You were caught with your pants down aye? Not the “nice guys” of the world any longer aye? Now bring me Tim Horton’s head on a plate aye?
But they didn’t pin it solely on another country? They mentioned that the US already has a problem and now getting more pigs from the north isn’t going to make it better.
Exactly what's happening that's a hog lol
Thats the US way
I'm an old-school pig farmer (pasture and pen farrow, no crates). That hog at 2:43 only looks slightly feral, looks like it has Berkshire in it, if I had to guess. I had some Berk boars a few years ago that were fairly close to this.
Can these super pigs be eaten like a regular pork chop ?
Good on you for no crates!
Why are crates bad? My stepfamily had a few crates but mostly they had pastures and pens. Btw I knew nothing about farming when my mom married into that family and I couldn’t wait to stop pig farming when I left for college. Curious about the crates though.
@@emarteliz😂😂😂 one pork chop from a super pig could make @ least 2 pork chop sandwiches

I live in Saskatchewan and this guy has been "sounding the alarm" for the better part of the last 10 years. He loves media attention. Sure, wild boar live in Saskatchewan, as they do almost everywhere else in the States, but only NOW is he calling them "super pigs". He sure hasn't been calling them super pigs this entire time.
More things to be afraid of
This newscast is mostly BS. I've hunted all of these provinces for 45 years and have never seen a WILD pig of any kind.
Nothing new here and a bad label-most feral hogs in Texas will have European strains mixed with domestic. Very common.
They might want to turn around…
They gonna be bacon😭😂
My brother in law lives in Texas. They don't eat them. They just shoot them and let them rot.
RUN,piglets ,😂RUN!!
Nah in usa and Christian didn't eat pig. They eat cow. Poor cow.
@@Sapphinthecage They do run. But not fast enough for helicopter hunting.
Hunters, do your thing.
You could use those huge traps where it catches the whole group with the Alpha Male with it. Trapping is the best option if don't want them adapting to avoid game hunters. But allowing hunters to put them down should also be an option as long as the hunters are informed enough and organized enough to scare strays away into a certain direction so they could still tract them and eventually corner them in a small area in the long run. Those singular traps they are using would barely make a dent on their numbers and basically doesn't work. They would reproduce way faster than the amount you would be catching with that thing.
they are in south carolina already on people estates. They hunt them.
simple solution pork chops😋😋 why waist recourse's when cheap and abundant pork chops are a money maker! gets rid of the problem and feeds a family.
This is nothing new. They are everywhere, I use to hunt the heck out of them we would grab 2-3 a night.

Not to mention barbecued ribs on ordinary weekends. And pulled pork sandwiches during the week.
Don't forget the head cheese and trotters. The only part of the pig you don't get to use is the squeal.
The joy and excitement I felt when I saw the words "super pig"
People in America that don’t live down south should watch some videos on feral pigs, and how vicious and violent they really are even as baby piglets

That is interesting. In Canada, people have started worrying about American razorbacks moving up North.
Canadians should worry. United States pigs are meaner and tougher than weak Canadian pigs!
Is this like 'meals-on-wheels' for humans? So, wild pigs are like BBQ on hooves/Door Dash style?
Sometimes the news is absolutely insane and comedic
@johnsiran2810 They are very very lean, usually mix it with regular pork.

@@zachcarter3186 Which province allows this?
Canadian "super pig". Pretty much describes most of the population of Canada.
So everyone seems to have forgotten the stories of super pigs living in the bayou from the 90’s. 1/2 ton goliaths were photoed for many articles with proud southern boys covered in swamp mud…
You meant to write: “dumb southern boys.”
@@lewstone5430 "You meant to...". She wasn't writing about your family. Are you trying to get some attention for your family?
The solution is simple: we have to learn to live with wolves again. They are a part of this world & were here before us. They use to roam everywhere & were killed off for business interests, like ranching. My sister lives in Iowa & deer are so numerous they are considered pest like a rat or a roach because they have no natural predators to control the herds.
Yall say that until yalls beloved dogs that yall treat like humans start getting ate. Then all of a sudden yall will hate wolves again
@@nomaderic the solution is still the same: learn to live with them, be it by NOT living with them with encroachment outside a city or take measures to protect your pets by keeping them indoors or having good fencing. People should understand that’s the risk you take to maintain the balance of life. This is akin to the people who buy land or a house next to an airport then complain about the noise & the danger.. Don’t move out into country if you aren’t willing to take the risk (read “risk” as learning to coexist with our brethren, we are all part of this world). Texas, just so you know & don’t jump to conclusions, I hunt, mostly wild boar. I’m softy when it comes to animals but I recognize that is the way of things. Predation is what keeps the balance.
@e marr3 I'm a nomad I hike and backpack all over the country and spend lots of time in the wilderness. I grew up in the country as well so I've had my fair share of run ins with wildlife. Everything needs a balance or else things can get out of wack very quickly. If humans stopped hunting today deer and hogs would overrun the country extremely quickly. Hunting is a necessity for us just as any other predator. I used to have a large fish pond and it was the same concept. I had to "harvest" fish otherwise the whole pond ecosystem will collapse and all the fish will suffer
@@nomaderic facts I live in Arkansas and when deer hunting is out of season deer are everywhere and can cause car accidents out of nowhere. They randomly sit on the side of the highway at night and will jump out in front of the car.

You say super pig. I hear super bacon.
There already are large aggressive feral pigs that multiply profusely all along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida; very destructive and hard to control. 😟🐗
"Multiply profusely"..... Well, that's not a term you hear everyday😂
While I might agree that they are large, aggressive, feral pigs that are destructive and hard to control; name calling usually isn’t very productive for political discourse.
@@makslargu5799 I was speaking of the actual animals, nothing political. 🙄 My parents' subdivision is overrun in Texas by feral hogs that dig up people's yards, are very aggressive, attack pets, smart in evading capture, & multiply profusely. 🤤
Have seen the damage they have done in Alabama & Florida as well. The pythons are worst in Florida though! 😨
Don't know where your mind is! 🤔
As noted in the video.
Yeah I live in Florida so when I'm in the woods I look out for snakes or gators but the scariest thing I ever encountered was a pack of like 30 wild boars all I can say was thank God a river was close by because I run slow af. I was Michael Phelps that day.
We sent you wolves. We are sending you cougars. We have lots of grizzlies and an unlimited supply of black bears. Now, release the porcine!! SURRENDER.
I lived in both northern and southern Ontario, and Northern BC Canada and I've never seen them. Not in the country or in the mountains. I had no idea..
I lived in Northern BC I never saw them but I think the problem is mainly in Saskatchewan and Manitoba
Im about 90% sure that this news piece is ignoring the fact that we have been fighting to stoping the pigs from the states entering Canada for years lol never in my life have I see or heard of wild hogs here and I lived in southern Ontario, Alberta, and Sask lol
I live about an hour from London Ontario. They are here but uncommon.
They are an invasive species therefore on the rise, we have them in New Zealand for the same reason, they were bred by farmers and escaped. Hunting them is permitted anytime and popular for hunters around the world. Canada and USA could turn it into hunting tourism as well
instinct takes them to areas where people will have gardens acers of corn and grain, anything wild will eventually find its way there, i live in WV and we've had bears come right into town, and a bear will attack a child or pets if it hungry enough
You described the US government perfectly, and all their media mouthpieces ❤.

Canadian super pigs, as a Canadian never heard that term before just wild pigs. But I'm also not surprised when I start thinking of other animals here...such as polar bears, wolverines, grizzlies, mountain lions, wolves, moose and the absolute worst of the bunch geese.
"Canadian super pig" sounds much scarier than just "wild pig". It's like calling a grumpy bee a "killer hornet".
It's a catchy name than just wild pig.More dramatically scarier.🐷🐖
Since US has tons of wild pigs, they had to make it sound worse.
We have those animals here too, Utah, our polar bear our brown though... We also have bison, pronghorn, elk, mountain goats, I enjoy the Canadian geese though.
It's what we Americans do, sensationalize anything we don't understand. Remember, we blame Canada for all the winter weather. Seems our own stupidity gets in the way a lot.
Can confirm. I saw a huge boar.

Ever heard of a "Razorback"?

Been there like FOREVER
Yeah - but they are Southern pigs. These Canadian pigs are big and furry and cold adapted. If you dumped them in Arkansas they'd probably die of heat stroke.
Automatic weapons do have their use in hunting.
Then you’re not a very good shot.
@@debeichmann236 Then you've never been hog hunting in the south.
That’s true. Those hogs are so numerous, tough and agile that a select fire weapon is an option.
@@debeichmann236 Our Texas ranch has sounders of 40-80 feral hogs which move at night and a 5 round deer rifle is nowhere enough firepower. This is not hunting for the farmers. It is eradication of an invasive species. Farmers are losing millions. A caregiver was killed and partially consumed in a driveway outside Houston. A 500 pound feral hog was killed on a San Antonio Golf course. This is an out of control problem in Texas.
Are these pigs larger than the killer bees I heard about?
Very interesting report makes me think back to my own experiences with animals when I was a little boy puppies kittens found them all to be very friendly happy and love the touch of human beings compassionate hand. Well, when I got home from Vietnam couldn’t get a job went through office application after application finally got a job in a meatpacking plant at the front line of the slaughterhouse slaughtering pigs. None of them wanted to die. Many of them cried like babies, so once I watch this report, I can understand why a creature would want to survive. That’s the road the creator set them on just like all of us but as I get older, I can still hear the squeals screams and cries of those little pigs and big pigs.
Heart rending. Like the last thing you needed on returning from Vietnam.
Respect and thanks for your service.
