quote:

Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Dr. Mike Strain reports a possible solution has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency to fight the feral pig problem.

“Its a bait”, says Strain, “to help eradicate the feral pig.”

The bait is called Kaput which is fed to the feral pigs for three to six weeks using a specific type feeder that only a feral pig can get its head inside to feed on the bait.

But Strain cautions to “be sure and follow all label instructions” when using the bait.

Not sure if i am a fan off this, we do need to rid the hogs tho

Hopefully this KAPUT kills them within hours cause i couldnt imagine killing a hog then cleaning it putting it in a black iron pot and it just ate poison. Imagine what the woods will smell like with dead hogs decaying all over the place, be like riding through the spillway after the morganza locks were opened with all the dead wildlife everywhere. Talk about ranked

I guess this is the hog equivalent of the coyote poison called "Prestone"

What about the scavengers (or people) that feed on the poisoned animal

I understand the hog problem

But it's just against my upbringing to poison an animal and waste it.

I'd love to know what kind of feeder it is that a hog can access but not a squirrel or coon.

honestly, I am not crazy about poisoning any wildlife. If pigs are a nuisance, then we need to figure out a way to make people want to kill more pigs.

I can see this being a big problem. You can't count on people to load the feeder, or even buy a feeder. They'll just throw the bait out on the ground for any critter to eat.

Cyanide trap kills family dog

Not exactly the same thing, but unintended consequences of trying to control predators.
