Ron,
Your responses are leaving me very confused.
I assume you realise pigs are an introduced feral pest similar to camels, donkeys and goats??
Dogs "will be a deterrent" is cetainly true but do nothing to aid our native wildlife.
In fact the use of introduced species to remove introduced species has never been documented as successful.
I admire your passion but really, neither of your posts on this subject have posed a viable and useful answer.
The only effective answers to pig sized feral species is either poisoning or shooting.
One thing I find fascinating is the average rabid greeny will denounce shooting. Yet the target never hears the shot that kills it! Figure that one.
The other useful bit with shooting is it's targeted, what is aimed at is actually what winds up dead.
In the next sentence they will support poisoning. Has the average greeny seen an animal actually die from 1080 poisoning? It's bloody ugly!
Then there is the bi kill, poison can't disriminate. Anything that eats it winds up dead. Have you ever menioned to a dead possum it doesn't look like a pig?
Oh, to shortcut your next idea. No, I don't own anything remotely useful for shooting nor have I ever owned said equipment.
I'm just a passionate supporter of our native wildlife and any means of helping it survive.
Geoff
