    It’s not that great. They are overpopulated and ruining the ecosystem, so we were paid to hunt them. But the meat is rancid, it’s wrought with disease, and even the pelts are worthless: 50/50 poly/cotton isn’t even suitable for rags or waterproof enough for tarps.

    They have no natural predators either, and the are clogging the rural landscape. If we leave them to rot, they smell terrible and poison the soil and water table. In 2020-2022 we thought disease would wipe them out, but they banned birth control and are breeding faster than we can control.

    There were programs to feed the homeless from various donations from hunters, but even the homeless reject them because they taste like cigarettes and stale Miller Lite. There’s plans to use their bodies for construction filler, but the are oily and unstable. In bodies of water their fat floats them to the surface like fatburgs one finds clogging sewers.

    The whole program is a disaster.

      Fake post. You can tell because no self-respecting conservative would wear anything but 100% Southern-grown domestic cotton. Look at any reviews for polyester underwear to learn more… it won’t take long.

      i dunno the puffer vests can get a second life on the west coast if you can drive down the shipping costs.
