As a person who lived in AZ and has been WAY closer to groups of javelina than I would like to be.

  1. They are huge and not to be fucked with.
  2. They will tear up and any all vegetation they can.
  3. If one wanted to, it could fuck up your car.
  4. Go Pig Queen go!

As someone that's still in AZ, you are correct on all counts. But forgot:

  1. They have the cutest babies who follow their parents marching in straight lines.
  2. STAY FAR FAR AWAY IF THEY HAVE THOSE CUTE BABIES

Warb-garble? Is that a sly reference too?

Pig-like animals? Is it boars?

I really wish peccaries (javelinas) would repopulate California. They’re so cool!

We have them in Texas. They'll eat your pets and maim you. They're also significantly smarter than many people realize. If they weren't such indiscriminate terrors, they'd probably make for pretty fun pets or be fun to watch play together while out on walks.

This is why I don't agree with calling cops pigs.

Because the pigs are intelligent and don't put up with bootlicling?

Excuse me, what now?
