    It they are not going to be eaten, they should be set free in our forests.

    Nice idea but I think we're eating them again.

    100,000 thousand pigs are going to be slaughtered.

    Could they not find other uses for them other than killing them as they were going to be spared by not being eaten?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Unfortunately the chances of that happening are slim to none :( They are probably better off in piggy heaven than in the conditions some livestock are kept it anyway.

    Indeed, because introducing vast numbers of new animals into the countryside would not have even the slightest of negative affects on a rather delicate natural balance.

    That would just lead to a big increase in the number of pig rapes reported.

    I think the number is currently 28 per annum. 27 of which originate in and around Athlone.

    Weird folk populate our forests. Please God don't let the pigs into em.

    We could then introduce some tigers that should take care of the pig problem. Plus tigers are cool!

    Theres a movie called "The Ordeal" you should watch. Its about that quaint kind of rural folk you allude to. In subtitles, so not much change there.

    You are right!

    Anyone want to join me in pig racing and off course pig cage fighting!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 cofster


    Release them into our forests???? But what if they organised themselves into some kind of group or political party if you will and start giving the other animals ideas, who in turn start their own parties! our forests be be in complete dissary!


    Someone should write a book about that actually

    We already have one of their 'kind' making very big and important decisions for our country. One too many if you ask me.

    Will Pighead also be able to run free in the woods?

    If they're Irish pigs it'll take them centuries to get it together enough to be a problem. They'll be too busy killing each other.

    And the two guys off TV3 who present the sports.

    Actually come to think of it, it pays to be a swine in this country.

    Yes but what do you do when the tigers are out of control?
    Release bears?
    Have you even watched that national geographic documentary "Winnie the Pooh"? They'll just become friends and work together trying to steal the nations honey! :eek:

    Not in the least. The pigs would love it. Sure they'll just automatically find the bushes that pig feed grows on - which occur naturally in the Irish countryside of course - and utilise the survival skills that they've learned from living in a shed all their lives. They wouldn't be panicked and unable to fend for themselves at all.

    :rolleyes:

    In the land of the Pig the Butcher is KING.



    I say release them into Northern Ireland.

    Not for any particular reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    can we not just move them all to Cavan, their spiritual home?

    Then they will end up crapping in the lake and the EPA will come along and put a big glass dome over the entire county.

    Spiderpig, spiderpig........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I think this is a great idea! Free bacon! Or, free the bacon.

    Then we should be allowed to hunt the piggies down. All the extra exercise everyone will get hunting the piggies will counteract any health concerns from eating their slightly contaminated flesh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Celticfire


    Grind them up into food for our cows, problem solved........ what could go wrong?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,793 ✭✭✭oeb


    Hi, I have found a major flaw in your otherwise infallible argument. What happens, if the forrest pigs gain sentience? Soon they will be rounding us up and eating us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,934 ✭✭✭egan007


    It they are not going to be eaten, they should be set free in our forests.

    So it can die naturally and let 20 other animals eat it and spread the dioxins more effectively - GREAT idea.

    Hi, we don't usually eat mice, rats or squirrels in Ireland. But I'm sure the forrests where you come from are full of sheep, goats and cows.

    Well I hoped I would not have to start painting pictures and using hand puppets.

    But when mister pig dies and his rotten cargas falls into the stream and the little stream gets drank by the big fish and the fish poo makes little pondweeds grow and the plants absorb the little stream water and the trees absorb the water and the trees make fruit and the vegetables grow in the ground and the little stream gets lifted by the sun and rained over the......ok you get the point....it's not about eating rats.

    Poor pigs. I would eat them without compassion but now the poor blighters are going to die without potential digression to my belly I feel a slightly uncomfortable hypocritical sympathy for them.

    Poor pigs.sniff.

    As far as I am aware, PCBs can only be transmitted via animals. IE plants do not accumilate it.

    How come the places that have had serious PCB exposure (such as the river hudson in the US) only ban consumption of fish and shellfish in the area?
