CANADIAN BACON SET TO INVADE AMERICA IN THE FORM OF LARGER, COLD RESISTANT FERAL PIGS
I love bacon, and have met more than one former vegetarian/vegan type who fell off their proverbial wagon just because the smell of it cooking put them over the edge, back into eating mammalian protein. But aside from being high on the hog, bacon comes from pigs, which is an awkward thing as they are so darned intelligent. And smart creatures tend to have minds of their own, and when it comes to wild pigs, that goes triple. And wild hogs? All the more. So it’s of some concern that Canadian Bacon, in the form of the wild hogs out of control in Canada, are likely to invade America, south of the other border.

THESE GIANT PIGS DON’T MIND COLD AND CAN DO WELL IN ANY ENVIRONMENT WITH FOOD
Wild and feral pigs and hogs used to be just a funny meme, with occasional jokes barely even being a viral sensation briefly. But the Canadian Bacon types are different, as they are larger than most and are resistant to cold temperatures which is why they have flourished in Canada. And since they have intelligent minds of their own, they go where they want, which means new territories filled with food to eat. And now, there’s evidently a “high potential” that they could be heading to America, in particular South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Minnesota. But the cold in these states won’t stop or particularly bother them.

So why is Canadian Bacon coming to the states a concern? Well, they don’t really have any natural predators to control their numbers in the states mentioned above. And, they like to eat. A lot. As in, whatever nature provides, small wildlife, and crops on farms. They also can carry dangerous germs, and have been known to attack both people and animals. While a lot of the southern half of America already has feral pigs roaming around, they’re a combination of (escaped) domestic pigs and Eurasian wild boars. But Canadian Bacon? They’re a bigger, badder version of the wild boar/domestic pig combo. And, they’re tough and hardy to the elements.
Oh, and they breed. Fast. So this is novel news for the moment. Until Canadian Bacon is off the menu and on the local hoof.
