🐷🐖 Super Pigs- an example of Science going wrong.

Science has helped man to produce more hardy or disease resistant plants or animals. Faster growth, bigger size, higher yields, better taste, higher nutritive values are also examples of improvements. 

Crossbreeding to get desirable traits and to reduce undesirable traits have enabled the above to be achieved.

Genetic engineering to produce Genetically Modified Organisms has sped up the development of super breeds.

Wild boars suited to the environment have always existed.

Wild boar meat has been an important source of protein for natives. Although generally tougher, wild boar meat is also sought after by urbanites because of its taste and medicinal value.

In my country Malaysia, wild boar curry is considered a delicacy by non Muslims.

Wild boars were native species that evolved to adapt to the environment.

Hybreed super pigs were originally crossbred to help farmed pigs grow larger and tolerate the cold temperatures of Canada.

A drop in the market about two decades ago led some farmers to let their hybrid pigs run free. Now they’re running very free, according to Field and Stream. Too free and difficult to control.

These growth of super pigs in the wild has caused problems to both flora and fauna. 

They eat or destroy both plants and other animals. The super pigs are so hardy that their growth is hard to control.  

The area that they habitat is increasing from Canada and now includes  parts of the USA.

Have you heard of the term "bloody pig"  being used to scold or curse people?

The Super pigs are considered as  " bloody  pigs". The genes in their blood made them so 😃🤣🦋
