Wildlife managers across the American South are using a technique called the Judas pig. They capture a feral hog, fit it with a GPS collar, and release it. The hog walks back into the landscape and does what feral hogs always do. It finds other hogs. The GPS transmits the location. Trappers or aerial gunners arrive and kill every hog in the group except the one wearing the collar. The Judas pig survives, finds itself alone, and goes looking for another group. When it finds one, the coordinates update. The guns come back. The group dies. The collared pig lives. The cycle repeats until there are no more groups to find.
The technique is named after the apostle who led the authorities to someone who trusted him. The pig does not know what it is doing. It is a social animal following the only drive it has after its family is gone, which is to find another family. Every family it finds is destroyed because it found them.
@mekords It’s funny how that happens. A great song will pop up on my playlist and I’ll think, wow, what a great song and then I’ll immediately think well yeah, I picked it !
@mmmadcccowalt Another thought occurred to me about your a/c search. Depending on your budget you might consider a mini-split. Installation is not as easy and they are more expensive than a window unit but it is super quiet and does a great job.
@mmmadcccowalt Most everything nowadays is Chinese and not great quality. Back in the day my favorite brand was Friedrich. They were expensive but practically bulletproof and ran dependably for years.
