I have a nieghbor that says he is goin to put out poison mole grain of some kind out in hopes that the hogs will eat it and die. In my opinion this couldnt be more reckless. My family basically lives on hog meat this time of year if not all year. Has anyone ever heard of this? Should I be concerned about eating a hog now??

Gopher bait is milo treated with strycnine. If he puts it out to get rid of gophers with the machine thats used for that purpose, it want have any effect on the hogs. If he puts it out on top of the ground in large quanities and kills some hogs, then whatever eats them will die, except fowl.

It is unlawful to use poisons and chemicals in a way other than stated on the label. You might inform him of it. Depending on what it is,(like BigO said) it could kill what eats it and then what eats them and so on. You might inform him that. It is a good way to lose everything you own, when you're found to be responsible.

I know it won't kill chickens so I figured other birds would not be affected, but whatever eats the chicken is dead.

I heard about a guy near Palestine who tried to poison hogs for a landowner . He was caught and not only was he fined, but the guy who sold him the poison was fined as well as the landowner. I heard it was 9000 apiece. There is nothing you can use to legally poison a hog that you can is poison. The labels are clear it is a violation of federal law. I use gopher poison on the ranch and it is a definite fact it will kill birds. I had a guy claim that clay pigeons / skeet were toxic to hogs and he said they would eat them . Maybe someone else knows something about that.

These durn fools are everywhere, and they vote.  I'd talk to him and see if I could help him with his hog problem. I'd also gather up a little bit of information to show him, like the penalty for poisoning hogs.  It is the only non legal way to kill them, so I'd imagine (and hope) its quite pricey if he's caught. If he proceeds, I'd have a ticked of neighbor because I wouldn't hesitate one second to call the authorities on him. It ain't right, ethical, safe or legal, especially when it comes to you and your family you've got to keep an eye on him. |
