I get it.  Snakehead must be Family sims.

That is very funny, it made me laugh and I am grateful (it's been a trying day). But you are right. Release a few of those, and they will have devoured your pond/neighborhood in no time at all to the point of being unusable :P

Don't diss wild boars? Have you ever seen one of these brutes in action? They attack just for the hell of it, they just like to wreak havoc. A friend of mine told me that a mortally wounded wild boar attacked their high-stand and kept at it for at least five minutes before it finally realized it was already dead. If you can't kill them with a single shot, you better be a very fast runner, a good climber, or an exceptionally calm person so you can shot it again and do it right this time, otherwise you're dead. May I recommend a tank for boar hunting purposes?

We have those types of boars down here, too. They are the meanest thing that ever lived. A group of them used to terrorize an apartment complex's dumpsters. One night a group of my friends were going home when one of the boars attacked their car. When he was done, the car looked like it had been involved in a major collision.

One of my dogs is a Catahoula hound (the Louisiana state dog). They're called "Hog Dogs" because their original purpose was to bring these boars down. And these things are not little Babe-like pigs. They are as big as bears and much, much more ruthless.

Yes, I have seen them in action. I do, in fact, own a tank. And I've killed these things before. With a spear. They taste great. Kinda tough, chewy texture.

Yes, they're quite persistent. This kind of bloody-minded persistence can make then surprisingly predictable and easy to dispatch if you remain calm and do not panic.

Yep, veilchen, we live in the same area. Now, the snakehead would be bad enough if multiply like heck was all it did. But no. It can BREATH AIR. It can WALK OVER LAND from one pond to another that happens to be MILES AWAY. They're actually a delicacy in certain parts of Asia, because you buy them live, take them home wrapped in paper, and kill them right before you cook them, so they're very fresh. In fact, that's another reason to give a few to JM. It also means that they can escape from fish markets and people who buy them, and then use their mad land-walking skills to get to the nearest pond.

JMP, are you that guy who got arrested for driving around in his neighborhood in his tank, and "accidentally" knocking over people's houses? It sounds suspiciously like you.

[J. M. Pescado]

Of course not. I know better than to get caught. Besides, there aren't any houses here to hit even if I wanted to hit them.

[Brynne]

Okay, I bought myself a goat. It won't climb the tree.

[witch]

When I was a child, our family had a couple of goats to eat the long grass & weeds in the section. My brother and I were standing on the back doorstep one day when our mother came running past, hotly pursued by Billy. (give you one guess at his gender :p )

'Help me' mum shouted. Well my brother and I just about wet ourselves, we were no help at all.

By the time mum came round for the 3rd or 4th time, with 'help me' dopplering out behind her, Billy still in hot pursuit, my brother and I were just helpless howling heaps on the step. Nearly forty years later the memory still makes us laugh. Thanks for reminding me.
