How stupid and wasteful of government funds.
Why not do what the state and federal governments of the past 200 years have done when some animal is making a mess of things. Put a bounty on the offending creature.
Wolf populations were easily curbed in the past by placing a bounty on the canine.
It is a lot cheaper to have willing civilian hunter spend their time hunting for feral hogs than to spend $20 million equipping and supplying government employees to hunt the piggies.
A generous bounty of $200 per head would net the government 100,000 dead swine. I seriously doubt that the government hunters could gun down anything close to that many for the price.
Fundamental transformation, dontcha know.
If anyone thinks that’s reason you are simply stupid. MPs for a pig hunt. Who are they trying to kid.
What’s next, drone hog hunts?
They are planning on hunting the elusive “long pig”... the one with the bitter taste and that clings to old but time tested things......
They are just following their instincts: the purpose of government is to grow government. They will have to create and hire more bureaucrats to keep statistics on hogs killed by these ‘new’ methods for starters - who knows how many more they will have to hire to keep track of the new hires?
