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?

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.

I like pig.

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.

What are a load of sausages going to do in the forest?

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!

cofster · 08-12-2008 12:59PM

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

Pig baiting, using bunnies with sharpened fangs....

I think I see a plot for Babe 3.

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:

monkeytronics · 08-12-2008 01:05PM

In the land of the Pig the Butcher is KING.

I say release them into Northern Ireland.

Not for any particular reason.

Fratton Fred · 08-12-2008 01:08PM

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........

ScumLord · 08-12-2008 01:10PM

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.

Celticfire · 08-12-2008 01:11PM

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

oeb · 08-12-2008 01:11PM

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.
