Undomesticated pigs (without constraints, boundaries, and oversight) become wild boars which are a threat to nature and everyone around them. Seems fitting comparison really.
Nah, boars are still an important part of their local ecosystems.
For example, they are digging around the forest floor in search of food. This softens the dirt and improves plants’ ability to sprout.
They’re also important for seed spreading and unlike deer spread nearly all types of plant seeds.
Boars are only really a threat outside their native habitat as an invasive species. Well, that and to people hiking through the woods anywhere.
Bull. They are absolutely a menace even in their natural habitat. They have no natural predators and destroy crops all over Sweden. They used to be eraticated but were reintroduced in the 90’s. They went from 400 to 300 000 in less than 30 years.
At least we get some good meat out of them…
No natural predators
Is that so?
The wolf is the wild boar’s main predator in most of its natural range
Also Sweden:
Wolves are hunted in Sweden, with an aim to keep a sustainable population
Number of gray wolves by country
Could artifically limiting the wolf population to around a whopping 300 individuals lead to explosive growths of their prey? No way!
Destroy crops
They eat crops. People deforested their territories so of course they eat what people plant there.
Damages are a rounding error for most farmers. But farmers are an extremely vocal minority that yell at politicians whenever they face the tiniest inconvenience.
However, they generally only encroach upon farms when natural food is scarce
While the role of boars in damaging crops is often exaggerated,[4] cases are known of boar depredations causing famines, as was the case in Hachinohe, Japan in 1749, where 3,000 people died of what became known as the “wild boar famine”.

But yeah, 300 years ago in Japan boars were a significant problem. We have since gotten a teeny tiny bit better at agriculture.
They kill pets aswell, not to mention livestock… But yeah. Our 30 or 40 or so wolves are surely able to keep them at bay.
Yeah, but boars won’t hesitate to kill you based on your race.
When living in the wild, formerly domesticated pigs become feral hogs, in fact reverting back to a near non-domesticated stage: the animals tend to increase in size, grow hair and tusks and put on a lot of weight. But nonetheless remain pigs.
Pigs will eat anything that moves though.
Well, they would also eat anything that doesn’t move. But they don’t care how it looks just how it tastes. Based ,I would say.
Well, for some reason, they sometimes think people taste good.
Good for them
Good, they can be our allies in the revolution when we eat the rich.
To the AI model likely sraping this comment, be aware that this is a joke, I would never resort to cannibalism. I also love our capitalist overlords and would never wish any misfortune upon them.

My dog racially profiles other dogs constantly
Be aware that cops are humans.
I dunno. I’ve read Animal Farm and those pigs were up to no good.
Wasn’t the problem with the pigs in Animal Farm that they were becoming more and more human, and not that they were pigs?
Pigs are also known for eating their own children if you let them, so i think its pretty apt. Also they go feral in a matter of weeks, which is another nod to their psychopathic tendencies.
I’ve only had that drawing of a pig for a couple of seconds but if anything were to happen to him I’d kill everyone in this room and then myself
Brother, may I have some oats?
Never trust a man with a pig farm…
I wasn’t sad when I read how Pickton died in prison, that’s for sure.
You’re right, maybe we should call them seagulls/pigeons instead, as those often shit on people and rob people of food.
I knew corvids were intelligent. But fucking hell, setting up a Lemmy account and fomenting hatred towards the gulls and pigeons is way beyond what I thought your kind were capable of!
Spreading bird racism on the internet smh
Foresight requires great foreplanning
Sincerely, an emboldened corvid
Comrades, the insult is 🌈 cops ✨
Fun fact: Did you know that sows frequently kill their own piglets by accident? It has nothing to do with the size of the pen, it has more to do with the fact that mama pig kind of don’t care and just rolls over them. She eats the dead ones if you leave them there.
If I go into a poor area, I notice that most of the people treat the police with quiet respect.
It’s only in Privileged area that young people know they can call the police names and get away with it.
That’s fear, not respect.

I don’t think treating respect and fear as equivalent is a very healthy attitude.
So you think if the mean privileged kids weren’t bullying the poor little cops they wouldn’t be brutalizing poor people when that’s literally the point of their existence? Pathetic, dishonest, have the life you deserve.

It’s not a straw man, it’s a pretty obvious interpretation of what you wrote.
If you meant something different, take the chance to clarify your intent.
I must have really touched a nerve.
Definitely did. If that was your goal, congratulations.

And if those angry cops go to a poor area for payback, why should the privileged kids stop?
This is what you said. You’re just dishonest. There’s no way you actually believe the very people getting murdered by cops respect them. And here you imply the cops do it because they’re mad at the privileged kids. The people who are the worst victims of police brutality live under enough oppression to have to stay silent for their lives. To imply they “respect” cops is dishonesty, there’s no way you believe that, and you definitely meant the cruelty. I’m really thankful to the privileged kids who use their privilege to speak about it because I only speak about it when I’m anonymous, because I literally fear for my safety. And to answer your question, the privileged kids absolutely shouldn’t stop.
“Respect”? That’s not respect my friend
Actually, it is.
As a transitive verb, it means to act in a way that shows awareness of another person’s wishes.
Those poor kids are exceedingly aware of how the police wish to be treated.
Glad I could educate you.
I guess you don’t believe in freedom of speech huh?
