Don't eat the blue ones!
Well Sid got his way! Pig poison has been approved! Applicator's license and a special feeder. Poison turns their fat blue so you don't eat a bad one! I don't know where they all are but they have not been on the wife's place in months. I turned off two of my feeders to make the deer go someplace else!

I hate to hear that. Sid Miller cares about nothing except the green that lines his own pockets -- just like most of our so-called state leaders.

From an older article:

Warfarin is a slow and ugly death for anything bigger than a rat, causing internal bleeding, cramping, suffocation and aneurysms. Hogs subjected to it take two days to three weeks to die, and any scavengers that eat the meat often die too. That, more than anything, persuaded Australian authorities to ban its use. “Ranchers would go out at night and hear the pigs screaming in pain,” Herring says. “Just screaming through the night.”

According to a release from Texas Farm Bureau this stuff will be made by Kaput. Lower dose of warfarin so it won't affect other animals as much! It will take long to kill a pig! Special feeder that they will have to be encouraged to eat from, then add the poison. Poison should dye their fat blue after a little dose. Blue fat should keep from killing people who eat them!! Rats became resistant to warfarin fairly fast. Pigs probably will also.

I see this was a big issue in 2017. What changed?

They are hell bent on poisoning pigs! Special feeder, lower dosage, and blue dye are all work arounds for the problems from before. It will still get out of hand because of the number one problem, people! The special feeder will be fairly expensive and prone to break. People are lazy and will use it wrong. Wrong stuff will die!

Live Oak-

You nailed it. I agree with you 100 percent.

This is a very bad idea & it's going to cause damage before being abandoned.
