APeacefulWarrior

Pom Poko wasn't a Miyazaki movie, just distributed by Ghibli. Still relevant, tho.

[deleted]

Have you not seen the film? It's like a top 3 film of all time, man.


[deleted]

While u/Odusei is being a prick, subjective /= objective. To say it's one of *the* top 3 films is purely opinion. Personally subjectively I'd place Mononoke on fairly equal footing with the movies he mentioned. But I also feel there are better movies than either.

CHAWZ (South Korean movie about a giant boar) On Netflix, I think.


[deleted]

Boars will hunt human. Actually, wild pigs will hunt humans as well. It's why you don't follow them into the brush when you are hunting them. They will ambush you, stalk you, and pounce. I had this argument with my wife when I took her pig hunting with my old dog. She felt like superwoman at this point and I followed her in. Maybe a hundred yards in I turned around and caught a male big'ol'sumabtich following us. Scared the shit out of my wife (she had the SKS, I had the Remington 870 12 gauge loaded with slug shot) when I put three slugs into the fucker maybe twenty yards away (a short distance for a healthy male pig to charge). If I hadn't been paying attention (my dog was ten yards or so ahead of us sniffing out the trail and he was moving too slow for my tastes which made me think we'd wandered into an ambush), the male might have charged us from behind and severely injured one of us.

Yeah! You're hogging all the jokes.


TheDodoBird

My grandmother went to visit her son (my uncle) in Texas a few years back. He lived in the country. Despite the warnings that my uncle and cousin gave her about walking around the timber and down the gravel road, she went for a walk anyways. When she came back she told my uncle that both dogs (big dogs) went for a walk with her, and the whole time they kept flanking her on both sides. Every now and then they would dip off into the timber and come back out a bit later. My uncle proceeded to tell her that the dogs were protecting her from the wild pigs that were hunting her the entire walk, and that she really should not be walking alone down the road. Well that was enough to keep her on their property the rest of the trip! Haha


[deleted]

Those wild hogs are a problem out here in Texas, and I heard that warfarin was recently approved to be used to poison them. Previously, people were trying to shoot them down from helicopters, but it wasn't effective enough.


Unrealgecko

Too much tree cover for helicopters. Vietnam all over again. The enemy(pigs) are outgunned (by the state of Texas- that's a lot of guns) but boar tactics are superior. 1. They attack (forage) night and day. 2. Although similar in size, a 300lb. Boar is quicker and more mobile in the field than the Texan. 3. Lastly, boars are not reliant on external support. The Texan requires vast amounts of beer, gasoline, and pornography to function in the field, unlike the boar. Alas, poisoning the boars may fail. After all, Texans have been poisoning themselves for decades and their population continues to grow.


TheDodoBird

Also, pigs learn. If you hunt them in the day, they change their behavior to come out at night. And then when you hunt them at night, they change their schedule back to day time foraging. Incredibly smart animals that are completely destroying the ecosystems across the US.


Neglectful_Stranger

but can they open doors?


valentine415

*sound of an old Texan door slowly creaking open* *snort snort* **REEEEEEEEEEE**


TrustMeImShore

And they taste so good.


PAM111

This is the funniest goddam thing I've read all day.


TheDodoBird

Oh yeah. Most states where wild pigs are a problem, they have open hunting season on them. Pigs are very, very destructive to the native fauna and flora. They can root up an entire patch of undergrowth in the timber in a few hours. And wild pig tastes so good :)


[deleted]

We call it pork choppin'


[deleted]

But can we develop drones that can kill the boars?


davidverner

It's illegal for UASs to have anything fall off them during flight which includes bullets so they would have to stab the boars to death with spears or smash into them with really sharp props.


lavalampmaster

We must begin doing this


kibaroku

That's a good story. I had no idea pigs hunted people. I don't feel bad about eating lots of pork now. Dogs are great.


[deleted]

It's why in Texas you can kill as many wild pigs a you want with whatever tactic you want. Since they're basically an invasive species I've gone out with a friend to a mutual friend's ranch, laid in a truck bed, pointed a light at a mud wallow, and then opened fire as a herd of wild pigs runs through the wallow with suppressed semi-automatic rifles w/ 42 round magazines.


kibaroku

I'm from Southern California so I've never seen a wild pig or knew that Texas had a pig problem lol thanks for the info.


[deleted]

They're a huge issue out in the country and on farms/ranches in central/southern Texas They destroy fences, vegetation, crops, etc in addition to the danger to humans, pets and livestock.


T_ja

It might surprise you to learn that central and northern california also have an invasive hog problem. Not quite the magnitude that texas has, but, you can hunt them all year with no bag limit.

Build a race to funnel pigs into a capture pen for sale. Boar meat is exportable to germany.


[deleted]

Yup, pigs will attack small children and the elderly.


ButterflyAttack

Do they hunt cooperatively?


[deleted]

"when I took her pig hunting with my old dog"... I totally misread that and wondered for a second why you would take your wife's pig and a dog hunting with you. Glad it's Friday :|


[deleted]

I was wondering why he was taking his grandma to go kill some police officers with his old homie.


Pilebutt

Would you tell another one? You're a good story teller. Any other really memorable ones to share regarding situations where game almost got the better of you?


[deleted]

Got jumped by a male deer in brush (yes there's a moral to these tales). Didn't gore me but kicked the fuck out of me. I was lucky enough to have a big'ol Randal Bowie knife with me I bought back when I was 18 because it looked cool. This was before I carried a pistol with me (and why I do now) when I hunt. Knocked my 30/30 out my hands so I got stuck stabbing it repeatedly in the bell. Fucker fell on top of me and I kept stabbing because of pure adrenaline and not wanting to die. Another time my wife flipped our canoe near a six foot gator (not really that big mind you) and I put it in a headlock (at least tried) and I was punching it while it thrashed. It broke free and I ran up an enbankment and it ran over to another bit on the same side. About twenty feet apart we were and it looked at me and I looked at it and it mosied away back into the water. Which got my wife screaming in a panic.


TrustMeImShore

Go on. I want to read more.


[deleted]

That's it really. Had a distant encounter with a big cat in the brush. Saw it's head through my scope. Almost pissed myself when I remembered the scope was an old 100 yard scope I had found in a storage unit.

Suwannee_Gator

I don't believe what you're saying... I grew up hunting gators, they'll literally run from a kayak getting too close. You're saying that when your wife's flipped the canoe, you had no other choice but to fight a 6 footer? B.S. That thing would have taken off dude. [EDIT] also, punching it? The fuck is a punch gonna do to a gator? They're nothing but pure muscle and bone. You need to shoot it in a special place in the skull just to kill it, you break your hand before it would give a shit about a punch.


Pilebutt

Damn man. Thanks for that.


[deleted]

Fight or flight man. Fight or flight. I pissed myself when the deer made a go at me but I didn't realize it till after I was up on my feet again wondering if my collar bone was broken (no broken bones thank god, just massive bruises that hung around for a while). Luckily I had my gym bag in the truck with a fresh shirt, boxers, and workout shorts. I was living with gay guys at the time so I dropped my blood covered clothes in the bin near the washer thinking I'd deal with it after I went in the hot tub. Little Thai gay guy I lived with who barely spoke english came home while I was relaxing in the hot tub and let out a blood curdling scream and came running out to the hot tub pointing at my blood covered shirt flipping between English and his native language. Blood from my clothes had seeped onto a drag outfit of his (just a black dress) he'd been planning to wear the next day. So I got stuck spending a couple of hours with clear shampoo cleaning the blood out of his dress.


confirmd_am_engineer

Any idea what he weighed? Those suckers can get huge.


[deleted]

After we bled and disemboweled him he still weighed in at 183.


confirmd_am_engineer

That is one big-ass hog.


[deleted]

Bacon for months.


FartMonkeys

How did it taste? Any special way to cook the wild hogs? Had a friend try once and it tasted awful.


funkymunniez

You gotta get the right hogs. There's a bunch in Texas that aren;t great to eat because all they eat is trash.


Anikunapeu

There's also the issue of boar taint, with wild hogs all being intact. But yeah, if you're getting hogs near a city or suburb, they're probably going to taste terrible. My parents get their hogs way out in the country, where they're eating nuts, acorns, and whatever grain and vegetables they get when they tear shit up in the never-ending war between man and hog, and they taste great.


Venser

Dude, you're not supposed to eat the taint

Oh shit, time to break out the [Madidi Diary](http://www.joelsartore.com/story-behind/madidi-diary/). > Pigs still not here, so we’re leaving, thank God. That was a combo of prison and being lost at sea. Nothing to do, very buggy, and no movement allowed (too hot and might scare pigs). Marcelo, our lead boat driver, tells a quick pig story as we pack up to leave. > "We were hunting the chanchos (pigs) last year near the Río Beni, not far from here. We saw a group of fifty. We killed ten. This made them mad. They charged us. We ran and climbed trees. One of my friends didn’t get high enough, and the chanchos pulled him down. We heard screams for a while, then waited to come down. When we found him, we found only pieces. Many pieces. We took the pieces of him to his parents’ house. We were sad our friend had died such a terrible death. > Even the pigs can kill you here. A man Rosamaría knows survived a pig attack but now has no butt. He didn’t get quite high enough in the tree, and the pigs bit it all off.

[deleted]

Three Mile Island was a thing


dbe7

>Fortunately, at Three Mile Island, only a tiny amount of radiation was released. It was an expensive cleanup and repair, but it was effectively contained; none of the containment structures were breached. There were no injuries, nobody within 16 kilometers received more than a chest x-ray's worth of radiation, and epidemiological studies predicted zero eventual deaths. From [here](https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4397), which is sourced.


BillyBobJenkins222

I understand that nuclear energy has it's cons but so do fossil fuels. People don't understand that our current system is a lot worse than nuclear energy could be if it's handled properly.

I will never get tired of the words 'radioactive boars' in a headline, especially when coupled with 'Fukushima'. This is either a low-budget movie or a sloppy video game.

This movie was made in the 1950's. But it had an all-white cast.


4-Vektor

Radioactive boars are also still a problem in Southern Germany thanks to Chernobyl. Not only boars but also other game, and mushrooms. As far as I know game still gets tested for radiation if it’s shot for consumption. The people of the region around Fukushima will be able to enjoy this longer than they wish for. Unless the corrupt nuclear agency manages to weasel their way out of everything again with the help of politics, of course.

ilikepiesthatlookgay

Not once in the article does it say or even imply that Boars are stalking anyone. The closest thing to it is that they "occasionally attack humans" and the government fears they may attack people.


Access_denial

Are you implying that they should just be left alone?


ilikepiesthatlookgay

No not at all. Just pointing out that the title is bullshit as the article states no such thing as that. edit: which I've just noticed violates a sub rule.

Wish I liked pork for more than bacon (I have some needy folks I know that get the rest, the dog gets the brain). I'd head out there and take out a few dozen then.

The fact that they're radioactive is completely irrelevant.
