When pig hunters fly!

[TexasProgresive]

A humorous treat from a Texan who appears to have pick up the mantle of Molly Ivin, Susan DuQuesnay Bankston of Richmond, Texas. Here’s her take on the airborne feral hog hut proposed by Texas legislator Miller.

February 20 - Okay, now we have a new expression around here: When pig hunters fly!

MERTZON, Texas (AP) — Millions of wild pigs weighing up to 300 pounds have been tearing up crops, trampling fences and eating just about anything in their path in Texas. But now they had better watch their hairy backs.

A state lawmaker is proposing to allow ordinary Texans with rifles and shotguns to shoot the voracious, tusked animals from helicopters.

Now my question is this: how they gonna tell the wild hogs from members of the State Legislature? I mean, they both look and behave the same. Except, of course, that the hogs are better looking and they eat out of their own trough.
Honey, it's gonna be real difficult to tell them apart from the air.
So, on second thought, maybe this isn't such a bad idea.
And then later in the article, it says --

Miller gave assurances the hunting would be closely regulated, though details on such things as how many hunters would be allowed to take part, and how many hogs they would be permitted to kill, have yet to be worked out.

"You're not going to have some bubba up there going, `Pass me a beer and ammo' and hunting some hogs," the legislator said. "We certainly want to do it right."

Well hell, if you don't have a Bubba saying "pass me a beer and ammo", it ain't hunting. I mean, that's what hunting is. Look it up.
As far as I'm concerned, having a bunch of people going around in helicopters shooting things ain't hunting - it's war.
And then it says that scientists at Texas A&M University (meaning anybody on campus who can operate a pocket calculator) are looking for a birth control pill for wild pigs. Honey, if they way they look ain't working, I doubt anything else would.
Besides, there's an ethical question here – if we let Texas Republican reproduce at will, what right do we have to stop feral hogs?
