OH MY! Pakistan has a big pig problem

ISLAMABAD: Every winter, the capital of Pakistan’s Islamic republic is overrun by what is many Muslims’ worst nightmare: herds of screeching wild pigs. (**sigh** God works in strange ways)

Washington Post (H/T Tammi) Motivated by hunger, the reviled animals descend each night from neighboring hills to feed on the garbage bins of Islamabad’s most exclusive addresses — from high-end hotels to the city’s embassies and even the president’s residence. On their way to feeding grounds, pigs cause traffic accidents and send locals hurrying for cover. Some Islamabad residents have reportedly been injured or even killed by belligerent hogs.

Over the years, Islamabad’s Capital Development Authority has attempted to stem the flow of swine through trapping and poisoning, and up until last year it awarded pig-specific hunting licenses. Still, the local porcine population has continued to rise unabated. Now Islamabad officials have all but given up trying to contain the intruders.

“The distribution is expanding because no efforts are undertaken to control this menace,” said Abdul Aziz Khan of the Pakistan Wildlife Foundation. “I came across them many times, but luckily I escaped.”

Islamabad is a favorable environment for the hogs, whose numbers are estimated to run into the thousands. The capital was founded just over 50 years ago on forested land abutting thicket-covered hills. Today, the city is still crisscrossed with wooded ravines offering cover not only to wild pigs but also to monkeys, jackals and giant fruit bats.Known to most Pakistanis simply as pigs but to scientists as Eurasian wild boars, the animals are natural residents of Pakistan’s plains and hills. They generally feed on anything from grass and roots to small animals, but Islamabad’s boars appear to prefer trash.
.
Shahid Hafeez, a lecturer at the University of Agriculture in Faisalabad, found that though the local pigs’ stomachs contained plants, dead animals and some mud, 58 percent of the contents was garbage. Retrieved items included Tetra Pak packaging, plastic bags and diapers. 
.
Islamabad’s pigs have virtually no predator with the exception of the occasional leopard or non-Muslim poacher. Every year, sows give birth to one or two litters of up to eight piglets each. Given the high reproduction rate, experts estimate that a boar population that has shrunk by 90 percent can recover within three years.Authorities have resorted to mass killings in the past.
.
In Punjab province, to the south of Islamabad, farmers were paid about $1 for each pig they killed provided they mailed the pigs’ tails to the appropriate government office. Up to 20,000 tails were collected annually, but the program was discontinued in the 1980s, apparently for lack of funds. At one point, the Pakistani army was also called to the rescue and slaughtered 10,000 pigs in a single operation.Dealing with a burgeoning pig population in an urban environment is more difficult. Shooting is not an option, and poisoning has met with limited success.
.
Islam considers pigs dirty and unfit for human consumption. Manan Khattak, who sells bricks near a wooded gully frequented by pigs, said he is not afraid of them but avoids uttering the word “pig” or even making eye contact with one. “We don’t look at them intentionally,” he said. “We try to ignore them.”For many others, potential bodily harm remains the main concern. At more than 200 pounds and equipped with protruding tusks, adult males can be particularly intimidating. “At nighttime when you see them you think it’s a bear,” said Mahmood Chaudhry, a city wildlife management official.Khan, of the wildlife foundation, said the car of a friend flipped over after hitting a large boar. He said several encounters with wild boars have led to human deaths. “If they hit you here,” he said pointing to his belly, “you are going to die.” (Oh well, we all have to die sometime)

In Pakistan, unlike other Muslim countries, they don’t kill dogs, they use dogs to kill pigs. Then they kill the dogs.

  2. Guy Macher says:

    Poor pigs, to have to live near Paki Muslims.

  3. bbyford says:

    couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people…….LOL!

  4. Islam is a Shame says:

    Pigs are so beautiful much more than any muslims. Probably why out of jealousy they hate them…Plus you know what they say “a pig cannot eat his own mates”….Yes God works in mysterious ways and what strikes me is that muslims are Animal HATERS and there is NO LOVE whatsoever in this so called religion that is in fact a violent war machine to kill and kill.

  5. GrouchyFogie says:

    $10.00 ( Ten Dollars US ) on the pigs to win~!

    I can’t stop laughing……Call PETA…

  7. foxmuldar says:

    Was that Mike Vick in the orange outfit? I hope the dogs get lose and turn on their musim owners before they end up being shot.

  8. Paula says:

    Wild boar meat has a sweet, nutty and intense flavor. Wild boar meat is leaner and deeper red than pork; most of the young boar is very tender … do not overcook as this may toughen the meat — Exoticmeats.com
    If the animal is chased, gut shot, or died a slow death then a strong taste could result –Texas Boars.com

    Obviously what is needed are some angry birds.

  10. Lo que tu mas odias, en tu casa lo has tienes de vere!!!!!!

  11. leolaeva says:

    I think it was real intelligent pigs =) I have always being learned that pigs are very intelligent animals and they are for sure. They have more braincells than the pakis have =)

  12. NoPcHere says:

    Just think of all the smoked hams, sausage, chops and ribs going to wast. Three cheers for the porkers.

  13. ronyvo says:

    Ironically, Muslims hate Jews and they imitate them in almost everything. As it was said, Mohammad did not bring anything new but violence.Islam is criminal and if the UN doing its job right it should illegalize Islam. But, it is a useless expensive body.

  14. Burnerjack says:

    Muslims overrun by pigs. This will be the funniest thing I’ll read all week! I don’t even know where to begin. BNI, you always seem to cheer me up, one way or another! Undoubtedly my favorite website by far and away!

  15. alkidya says:

    You see, if they got over their fear of eating pig they wouldn’t have this huge problem.
    This is hilarious! ROFLMAO

  16. holycow122 says:

    do you think they will be having any b-b-q’s soon? lol hahahha

  17. dragonfFIRE01 says:

    this is funny. If i remember the Eurasian boar can get quite large. some are known to approach 1000 pounds.

  18. Angelina Patterson says:

    I bet they are jealous because they can have 8 piglets twice a year and they only have 1 per year
    Wonder how it feels for them to to out breed for one. lol!
    Still feel sorry for the pigs though and for any animal living in musim countries!!! Cruel evil devil countries. I would like to think it is gods rath on them, but they get away with hahal so maybe not.
    I hope the pigs win!!!!!

  19. Tamminator says:

    Ah, blessed piggies. Oink.
    I’m gonna go make a BLT in your honor.
    Can you imagine the amount of piggy poop that must be all over the streets of Islamabad?
    Makes me smile.

  20. Upaces says:

    ROFLMAO TIPPIMP
    Poor little pigs.

  21. deb in texas says:

    God has a sense of humorous hahaha

  22. Gondor says:

    I can’t believe they use dogs and then kill them after they’ve done their bidding.

    Leftists need to take note. Both the unislamic enemies and allies met the same fate, regardless of the aid rendered to Muslims.

  23. Susan K says:

    Although I know they are dangerous and lethal, I find it difficult to watch Pakis torture them this way. They all have loads of guns. Why can’t they just shoot them in the head? The more I read about Pakis, the more I consider them a despicable people.

  24. Corrina says:

    I am having a hard time, I can’t stop laughing and my stomach hurts! This is the best story I’ve read yet! LOL.

    • Islam is a Shame says:

      Hey everybody if you want a feel good story check out the animal that the muslims hate, a dog, a golden retriever who is clearly moving to the music and hates it when his owner stops playing guitar.I laughed like crazy!!! Let me know if it is not funny….only non muslims please lol

  25. No.1Infidel says:

    BNI,

    Great story. It definitely put a smile on my face. My favourite sentence that you highlighted was “Islamabad is a favorable environment for the hogs”. Never have more insightful words been written.

    Go you good pigs!!!!!

  26. Slobyskya Rotchikokov says:

    Let us start a collection to pay someone local to start feeding the pigs and boars with steroid injected food. Perhaps we could breed a new race of UberPig, five feet tall, eight feet long and aggressive toward muslime. I will contribute right away!

  27. Steve says:

    Who says that God doesn’t have a sense of humor!? LOL. Oink, oink!

  28. I only watched half the video, so I don’t know how it ended. Those are the most disgusting people I have ever seen. They torture everything.

    Do they REALLY kill the dogs after using them to hunt?
    They make me nauseous.

  29. lazurus says:

    bacon for islam.

  30. BLR says:

    hogs have a tactical advantage in pakiland they cannot look them in the eye ! learn something usefull here everyday.

  31. fitzhugh fanny says:

    How absolutely wonderful – apparently God has a great sense of humor as to so bless satans’ minions with an abundant supply of that which they hate the most !!
    Definitely a delightful news item and I have not heard this anywhere else !!
    Still smiling !! Made my evening !! Thanks BNI for this joyous news !!

  32. ICE says:

    Love the dog Islam!

  33. Arwen says:

    You should point this story and the story of the dog infestation in Jerusalem to the tv show Infested. These stories are kind of ironic. Will it be rats next? Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t the Middle East diet consist of wheat. I know that wheat crops have not done well and that Australian farmers have suffered plagues of mice.

  34. abu umar says:

    Pakistanis also use pack dogs to kill de-clawed bears tied to posts. You know, just good, clean entertainment for the whole family.

  35. Jim 62 says:

    Would that be Halal Pork ?

  36. cranky.white.woman says:

    How many people in Pakistan, one of the world’s most backward and poverty stricken countries, are suffering from malnutrition and slowly starving to death? And then herds of wild pigs show up, and nobody will eat them. Now that’s what I call stupidity gone to seed!

  37. Pigs will eat anything – even Muzzis. Good luck to the piggys.

  38. Chris.Curran."Bonnie" Scotland. says:

    Did you know that,here in Brittain,the Government are thinking of having a “Cull” of Badgers in order to control them,i once heard that the muzzies don’t like Badgers,because they look apon them as the Brother of the Pig,enough said,lets just round them up and deport them all.

  39. Susan Geary says:

    oh poor pigs, but I really feel for the dogs. I will never understand why they don’t like dogs. Dogs can be wonderful companions, they just need love; but they don’t know about that.

  40. liz says:

    pakistan has a big pig problem? how’s about pigs have a big pakistan problem.

  41. flyingmythbuster says:

    ‘OH MY! Pakistan has a big pig problem:’ and it’s called the ISI. Maybe if they spent less money trying to kill Indians; there would be more money to control the wild pigs. But like they say pigs of a feather oink together.

  42. ADHD says:

    Serves those throat-slitter good-for-nothings perfectly RIGHT!!!! I rejoice at anything that hurts muzzies, especially entirely-Muslimised countries like Pakistan!!

    I hope that when God Unleashes His Wrath on this earth that He’ll be especially Nasty to those Mohammedans…

  43. Paula says:

    He even grins when he hears the music, and keeps perfect time bobbing his head. He’s darling!

  44. rb says:

    How stupid are they? Don’t they realize the wild pork business would lift them out of the stone age? They’d have the market cornered. Too bad, their religion won’t allow that….

  45. Dubi says:

    God used swarms of frogs, lice, flies and locusts to plague Egypt sooooo, perhaps the dogs in an arab village and the pigs in Pakistan – maybe coincidence, maybe not!

  46. K. aka Kel says:

    Muslims overrun by pigs. Now, that’s just dying for a You Tube video with the Benny Hill theme music in the background!

    Islam, that video is ADROABLE!! :)

  47. Ret. Marine says:

    I just knew all that inbreeding was going to catch up on them, look, much like the story of Jesus delivering the wickedness out of the pigs that ran over the cliff parable. Time to hire some good ol’e southern boys for the erradication, wait, no wait a minute here, better there, they deserve all the trouble nature gives them, big scary teeth and all. Over and out.

    Semper Fi.

  48. SweetOlBob says:

    Many people think the ban on eating pork by muslims stems from the lack of refrigeration in historic times, or the imporper cooking procedures that sickened people.

    THAT IS NOT TRUE !

    The great prophutt didn’t like pigs because they were very difficult to catch and almost impossible to position for his holy purposes. Sheep and goats were easier to catch and usually didn’t complain half as much.

    Now you know the real truth. If you want to discover the aims of a muslim, alway look between his legs first.

    Just educating.

    • Bob, no, that’s not why. In the beginning Muhammad was trying to win over the Jews so he “borrowed” a lot of their religious customs and incorporated them into Islam to attract the Jews and not eating pork was one of them.

  49. An EDL buck says:

    My 1st ever job was as a youth training scheme worker on a pig farm and speaking as one who’s raised pigs for slaughter the boar suffered incredabley. Not only did the get slashed stabbed and have hunting dogs hobble them, the paki bastards stoned them too! In front of their herd mates! And for all who asked about the killing of the dogs, pislam says hunting and guard dogs are ok. Just don’t kill them till their too old, sick or lame to do the jobs. And did you see how hungrily those dogs went at the downed boars? Them pakis are starving their hounds to make them mental.

  50. wyattearp says:

    All PORK including WILD BORE, needs to be cooked WELLDONE, due to TRICHINOSIS. A paracite that feeds on human muscular system. very long painfull death. While rare in modern domestic hogs, still common in their wild cousins. The cysts (pupea) are dormant in PORK and are nuetralized when completely cooked. The reason MUSLIMS & JEWS cant eat PORK is trichinosis. Bears are another host. Dont eat medium rare pork!
