Judas Pig

The process of tracking down individuals or groups of feral pigs and then shooting or mustering, is repeated until only the Judas pigs remain in the area.

But the increase in Canada’s wild swine is following the same trend, says the Nature study’s lead author, Ruth Aschim, a doctoral student at the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Agriculture and Bioresources. Under a legislation proposed by a Fort Worth lawmaker, recreational sportsmen would be allowed to join professional hunters like Lange to aerial-hunt feral hogs to help thin out their relentlessly multiplying and destructive ranks from the perch of a helicopter. The Judas Pig: The Killing of “Feral” Pigs on the Santa Cruz Islands, Biopolitics, and The Rise of the “Post-Commodity” Fetish [Reprint of the German version in English. Protective clothing, footwear and gloves may reduce the chances of injury when handling wild animals.There are bits you think are fictional, then something comes to light in the press and you realise that’s what Holmes was talking about.

It is intended that the information collected will provide strategic insights to program partners on how to better manage feral pigs across the shire longer term. My mindful, spontaneous rant, as addendum: Humankind, at present, IMHO, is by choice increasingly alienated from Nature, and has been for the past 300+ years. The lightest collar/transmitter available should always be used (ideally < 3% but no more than 5% of the body mass of the animal). The “super pigs” proved to be destructive for environments, and there is no natural predator to stop them.To reduce the risk of irritation on the neck, the collar should be fastened at the side and any metal fitting should be covered or as least smoothed on the inside. Our data suggest that California tiger salamanders enter or complete metamorphosis at sizes smaller and likely larger than previously reported. To be feral in Australia is to be part of a systematic process that institutes strict limitations on an animal's relational possibilities.

A new approach for reducing the population is to mark one individual from a sounder of pigs, the Judas pig, and allow it to locate other sounders for future removal. Large traps and tracking Judas pigs (wild pigs with a GPS collar that will lead you to other pigs), ground removal teams, fencing, and education are all key,” he said. These include nine females released at their trap site, three females relocated within the property they were trapped on, and five males released at their trap site.

We're trying to get ahead of the curve with this so we can prevent a lot of the damage that we know will be coming if we don't do anything about it," USDA Wildlife Services state director Alan May tells the AP. But he becomes increasingly haunted by childhood ghosts and by the ever-growing influence of Danny, his psychopathic partner in crime. With the [live traps] we're able to capture all of the animals at one time so we're not subsequently educating them about traps and bait on the ground," Warner said, adding the animals are euthanized after being captured.

Judas pigs must be permanently unable to breed and reliably retain a radio-transmitter to enable tracking and retrieval. The successful removal of pigs from Santiago Island sets a new precedent, nearly doubling the current size of a successful eradication, and is leading to more ambitious projects.

They equip one pig with a GPS collar, and when she or he finds the group, aerial hunters take out every boar but the collared one, who flees to find another sounder.
