Probably the wrong forum, but still of interest...

Just noticed, upon reading the full verse ending of Rev. 6:8 "...They were given power to kill...by the wild beasts of the earth." Consider the following:

1. What wild beast is NOT under threat of extinction by man's increasing advance into wild territory? (Hint - Europe and America are experiencing this, plus this is an animal that has been transplanted almost all over the world's land masses by people for food in the past.)
2. Which religious group, besides the Jews and some few fringe belief groups, is forbidden to eat or contact a certain animal?
3. During war times in the past, which animal has proliferated and benefited from bodies on battle fields, including the War Between The States?

The rat has always qualified as a "beast" that eats unprotected man. Hyenas and jackals come to mind as consumers of dead flesh, along with vultures. Dogs gone wild would become a problem, of course, but would take some time to be ready to start killing people outright in large numbers.

You may have already realized the animal I'm hinting at must be -- the wild hog. Currently we non-Muslims hunt/exterminate/etc. to try to control the explosion, to almost no effect. What if they are unchecked??!

Many people are waiting for the zombie apocalypse but they are missing the aporckalypse. Hogs are real zombies, they need to be eradicated. They will eat all our crops and food and then eat us. Wake up America!

Well I do my part, I eat them often!
