Stalekracker had a recent whole hog video that started with a trip to the slaughterhouse. They had a big washing machine like rig that enclosed the hog, flooded it with hot water of a certain temperature, and knocked the hair off with agitators. Black hog came out white.

Beat the hell of how we did it with boiling water and scraping the hair with butcher knives (although they did have to do some detail work with knives). That boiled hog hair stinks too.

Burning the hair off with a blow torch is another option, but it seems less preferred.

Probably going to be hard pressed to make a case against these folks...it is illegal to allow livestock to roam around in Georgia for obvious reasons but feral pigs are an invasive, non-game species and can be taken by just about any means handy....I can't find any limitations on how they can be harvested but I know for a certainty crazy bastards will dispatch them with a knife so knocking one in the head with a sledge hammer is probably OK and shooting it is certainly allowed. There are NO native porcine species in Georgia so it is going to be tough to make a case that this pig was anything other than just another feral hawg. If this thing was allowed to roam around in any county in Georgia and it wasn't "fixed" it would certainly be a candidate for adding to the the wild pig population in Georgia no matter how domesticated it was....'cause wild pigs in Georgia be doing some fricking and they ain't choosy who they be doing that fricking with....


Depending on where they shot it the only conceivable violation may be discharging a firearm, either in a city limits, too close to a structure or road....something along that line. Hell, they probably saw that thing in the yard and thought providence had provided them with bounty from heaven. If they were white folks their neighbors would be rushing to their defense....

That might depend. The pig prob had a premise I.D. tag in its ear since it was

exhibition livestock and the associated documentation that goes along with

that. Also if it was a purebred it is highly likely that it had an ear tattoo.
