Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Stupid solution suggestion: set up plenty of bait traps that'll cage them. Barbecue ensues.
In Texas we can shoot 'em from helicopters with fully automatic weapons. (Seriously) 🤠
Do you play Panama by Van Halen while you do it? Cause I’m imagining that right now.
Hell yeah, right after Fortunate Son and Ride of the Valkyries
It's one of those things that could really only happen in 'murica 😆
Unless there's a lot of clear view of the herds (not many places for the pigs to hide from sight), that sounds counterproductive. Then again, I really don't know squat about Texas other than stereotypes. Mostly barren desert? What about rocky outcrops?
No rocky outcrops, west Texas is a barren wasteland like you're thinking, but in east Texas, we have some pretty good forest action going on.
You're just teaching them how to use helicopters!
I have a pig and they're too smart. You can catch a load of them, but if any get away, and some will, they will not come near that trap again.
