Texas allowing pesticide for wild pigs

Texas Ag Commissioner Approves Pesticide Targeting Wild Pigs

Original Product website: Feral Hog - Kaput Products


TLDR: The poison used is warfarin and used as an anti clotting drug in humans. In larger doses it is fatal and that is the intended idea with pesticide feeders designed specifically for hogs. According to the company selling this stuff (Kaput Feral Hog Lure) it is difficult for a human to eat enough pig product to equal the amount of a pill; much less kill the person. The pig's fat is supposed to be tinted blue after they eat the warfarin so as any hunters would easily identify a tainted animal after they open it up.

I can see where the state needs to allow for aggressive measures for controlling the wild pigs but I am not sure if random poison traps are the answer. Although they have already removed pretty much every law about shooting them. @thekidcatcher @drew02a What are your thoughts with this?

My tinfoil hat opinion... Great marketing by Warfarin. New drugs came out making it pretty much obsolete in humans 2 years ago because the new drugs were safer. Just feed it to hogs - that should keep stock prices from dropping

New blood thinner 'antidote' to help doctors move past warfarin

I have no issue with if it is used correctly, the Aussies have been using it for years.

There are other poisons already approved out there for predators that is a lot worse than this blood thinner.

Huh! That'll be interesting

I don't think we need more poison. I think we need more AR10's and thermal scopes

I don't think we need more poison. I think we need more silenced AR10's and thermal scopes

FIFY... but I like the way you think!!

The poison used for yotes in some places around the state is terrible. Blood thinners should be interesting

 

[Silverback]

Hemophiliacs should be the only ones concerned.

It's part of my prayer everyday "Please let the HPA pass and make thermal scopes cheaper with higher magnification"

Blood thinners huh? If nothing else it should make them bleed out faster when I gut shoot them and let them run to the creek to die.

Meh I've never really wanted a thermal scope. I don't really do anything to justify one. But damn the HPA needs to pass. I have about 4 suppressors I need to buy.

I used a thermal scope before. It was more useful in the country than it was in the city. But we are hunting different critters here than over there.
