Who I am is not important, but rather what I am and what I am… is a green prophet. Notice I said a green prophet and not The Green Prophet. A true prophet would never brag about it. Why? Because there is nothing to brag about! He or she does not control what he or she knows, a prophet just somehow knows. It is not what a prophet knows that is so remarkable; although it can be. It is how he or she knows; because for this... there really is no logical explanation. What this green prophet knows that you should know at this time is... the truth about AOC's insane incline to rid the USA of all bovine in our time! Hahaha! On the serious side, here are two possible solutions. First, get AOC, to just change her mind! That's a wish and a prayer! Second, redirect the energy of the vegans and vegetarians from all bovine, to all wild swine; through a new public perception of the need to keep all bovine and get rid of all wild swine. GHG is reduced! Free meat for the hunters, their families and friends! Also extra work for butchers or to be more PC for AOC...family business meat processors! How? Do you really want to know? OK! Here we go! But first... a test!
Green-tings Green-Lings and Green-Wings!
Here is a test of your humanity! In front of you are six electrical relays in the form of buttons. Under the first button is written... all cows in our country; so both beef cattle and dairy cows. Under the second button, a stray mutt and a feral cat; under the third button is a homeless person; under the forth, is an unborn child; under the fifth button is written... all feral swine or wild hogs in our country. Under the sixth and final button is written... You.
Now you have just thirty seconds to push one of the buttons. When you do... whatever is written under that button no longer exists. The catch is if you have not pushed one of the buttons within the thirty second time limit, another relay... depresses your button. Oh; your thirty seconds starts... Now! What are you going to do? How long are you going to need to decide? Is it a tough decision? Now, let’s say you have done it! Which button did you push? Was it a tough decision? How long did it take you to decide? Why did you choose that button? These are just some of the things you should reflect on. Yes! Your choice does help define you!
If you made the decision almost instantly in favor of all of the human factors... then you have some measurable respect for humanity. It also indicates that you do lean greatly to... Green. Being Green or Conservation... is all about balance with a strong emphasis on the protection and preservation of nature with special considerations for commerce and the affects on humanity. Examples: Farming and Ranching.
Just so you know, Green-Lings are Doers... and have their feet planted firmly on the ground. Green-Wings are Dreamers... and live much of their lives with their heads in the clouds. Green-Wings are Dreamers and Green-Lings are Doers. The world needs both! What you are can, but does not necessarily change. If you found the task difficult to decide or did not favor your own kind, then you are not really Green.
If you pushed the fifth button almost immediately, then you are absolutely Green and in this green prophets opinion... you did the right thing! Now understand this, in pushing that button, you did not wipe out a species! No! You removed a danger to your children; to you, to your property, its value, your livestock and or your pets. They may not even be gone for good. They could come back! In the meantime, your kids, you, your property and its value, as well as your livestock and or pets, will just be so much safer!
Wait! What if you did what AOC says is best for the survival of our species because of excess GHG, and pushed the first button? Well, this green prophets first question is... Why? Why would you even consider the Twitter of a cocktail waitress turned power-hungry Congress girl, dubbed AOC? Because her thoughts on anything so far; are not even deep enough to cover her feet! They are the conclusions of a kid; the ideas of an adultescent! But now, because of politics and AOC's Squad's far Left millennial woke idiot-ology... pseudo- scientific Biden based government grants are being granted in support of her nutty notions!
They seriously seem to come without any consideration for the colossally catastrophic consequences to the smallest companies, the largest corporations and to cow and cattle capitalism in our country! Does she really not get how insane her idiotic ideas are? Wait! If... you would push the same button as AOC, you don't get it either! If you pressed the first button; then you too have been successfully indoctrinated! You are the dumb and blind led by the blind and deaf! But maybe; if she can be made to listen, she can learn to see.
Food for thought: This green prophet once had a neighbor and friend who was a rare combination; a brilliant scientist, and a Christian. He was also an honest to goodness genius! He could have literally done anything in life he wanted to; and he did. However, he was a Green-Ling. He did not have an entrepreneurial bone in his body! It just was not in his... DNA! Hahaha! He and his family were from Australia. He was here on a work visa. Actually, it was this scientist that came up with the term Above the Box... specifically for this green prophet. He called it a gift; to see what no one else does. While living in close proximity to him, this green prophet asked a myriad of questions and sought confirmation on many theories. One theory was all about government scientists. He said; "Facts comprise the truth, but facts are not the truth. You are right. They string facts together to simulate the truth, so the public will believe whatever the Government wants them to in the blessed name of Science. It is what those scientists are paid to do. It's why the Government grants are awarded to the scientists, enabling them to make a living, as educated." After learning his good friend had spent some time plying his profession for a Big Pharm Company... this green prophet confirmed a theory he had for more than a decade! The Question: Does Big Pharm even care about finding cures or are the only really interested in developing drugs that alleviate symptoms? As suspected for more than a decade at the time... He said, "Right again! The truth is... there is 1000's of times more money in alleviating symptoms than there is in finding cures! A cure... cures! You are done! But they do not simply make drugs to alleviate symptoms... they are much more diabolical than that! They deliberately develop drugs that cause additional side affects! So then, they can make more money, making more drugs to alleviate the side affects and on and on. So, once again... You were right!" So then, people end up succumbing to a stroke actually caused by some kind of combination of pharmaceutical medications that are autopsied as... "natural causes" because it has been going on so long it actually seems natural? He said... Yes.
The truth is... the first time this green prophet even heard of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; it was about what he really thought was an online joke! It was this young woman looking like a teenager, actually talking about reducing our countries output of methane gas by ridding our country of cows! But to this green prophets great surprise... she was and is serious! Then to the absolute astonishment of this prophet... the DC establishment gave this brand new but popular to her peeps politician... props! Ole plastic personality phony Pelosi, seemed put-off but powerless against AOC! So then, before writing this Post, this green prophet needed to learn about this new toast of DC... AOC.
According to Wikipedia; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; on paper is surprisingly impressive! However Cortez; is also a Boston College (cum laude) conundrum! Yes; AOC graduated with "honors" with a degree in... are you ready for this? Economics! No! Not Home-Economics... Ha! Ha! Actual Economics! Economics; is the social science that studies how people interact with value; in particular, the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. So now this green prophet is... perplexed! Seriously; how can a young woman apparently so academically accomplished... be inclined to want to end all bovine based businesses in our time?
Why is she thinking domestic bovine over the invasive and destructive wild swine? Why is she thinking cows and not sows? Wait! Could it be? Is it possible? Maybe she does not know! She is a New York City girl from the Bronx! Maybe this green prophet was a bit premature about young AOC's brain being AWOL! If so, this green prophet will gladly educate... so AOC can more intelligently legislate! Saving many states bottom lines in regard to bovine over wild swine! So then AOC; if you please...
The premise of the questions are simple... as always! Why defend domesticated cattle? What are the benefits of bovine? Why slaughter the wild swine? Why fear feral hogs?
First the truth! Fellow Green-Lings and Green-Wings... Even though Donald J. Trump... was the first to ever say it in a public forum and to the main-stream media's lying faces... face it folks, those of us on the Right, have known for decades about "fake news"! Well, as there is fake news... There are "False Facts"!
This is yet one more reason "We the People" need Donald Trump back! Quick recap: 1.) Donald J. Trump; in a nutshell, is a billionaire patriot who places the needs of the USA first and foremost! 2.) He is not... a politician! "We the People" to him, are much more important than the special interests and foreign powers Biden is always bowing down to or bending over for! 3.) This is the cherry on this parfait! The real reason we need Donald Trump again! Donald Trump and only Donald Trump cannot run again! He is the only one who will be coming in with nothing to lose except... His Rep! Donald J. Trump wants his Presidential Reputation Back! He wants to restore his good name and place in history! This green prophet believes that he will restore in just 2 years... what Biden and his S.O.B.'s (Subordinates Of Biden) took from us! How? He and only he will not be re-electable! This means our enemies will be more afraid of him than any President since the late great... Ronald Reagan!
Green-Lings and Green-Wings, today's Demoncrats... want you to see the tree and forget about the forest! The DNC and the main-stream media rats... want you to keep Biden, hug that one tree with the wind in your face and forget all about the forest fire inferno... that will be in your not far off future... if you do! As you have read this green prophet write a few times... "The simple truth is the truth is always simple"! A conversation had with a friend who is a Harvard trained lawyer did something that rarely happens. It caught this prophet off guard. Now, he actually said this and he was not joking! He was serious! He said... What is the difference? The subject at the time was truth and facts. What! Really? Wait a minute, this discussion is with a Harvard (trained) lawyer. Of course he does not know! It has been indoctrinated out of him! But, since... "The simple truth is the truth is always simple"; any illustration demonstrating this should be too. Facts may possibly be facets of the truth... but unless you have them all... you do not have the truth. The truth is the whole body! Facts are just parts! Facts separated from the body are not the truth! In fact, the truth is when separated, the parts may not belong to the same body! For true context, you need the whole body... whole! There is an old school axiom about the truth and proof known as... "The Body of Evidence"!
Fellow Green-Lings and Green-Wings, and AOC... here and below is the truth about bovine GHG vs wild swine destructivity... in context! First things first; the truth! Carbon dioxide is 0.04% of 1% of the atmosphere; that is over the whole world. Humans create only 3% of the 0.04% over the whole world. For example, Australia, with all of their human beings, manufacturing, bush fires and everything else including cow farts...make up just 1.3% of the 3% of the 0.4%. So then do you really believe that Australia should stand its economy on its head, force energy prices up, destroying businesses, causing higher unemployment, because 0.04% of 1% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, which includes the coal industry, which produces carbon dioxide? Where is there a political leader who will stand up and state for the record... the truth about the things we are only maybe being told exaggerated facts about? Better known and more simply stated, as lies? Those of us on the Right and in the know... Know there is only one presidential candidate who we know... wants what we want! He wants to restore power and prosperity to "We the People"; who really want it! Donald Trump, has already proven it to us once!. We know he is very well motivated to do it again! Fellow Green-Lings and Green-Wings, If the Left has been lying to us about the percentages and dangers of carbon dioxide, and they have... should we really believe what they say "science says" about the methane gas passed by cows being the catastrophe they make it out to be? Please, read on and decide for yourself, based on all of the facts, in context... which needs to stay and which needs to go once you know... The Truth! Which is as follows......
Feral swine are not native to the Americas. Pigs... were first brought to the United States in the 1500's by early explorers and settlers as a source of food. Free-range livestock management practices and escapes from enclosures led to the first establishment of feral swine populations within the United States. In the 1900's, the Eurasian or Russian wild boar was introduced into parts of the United States for the purpose of sport hunting. Today, feral swine are a combination of escaped domestic pigs, Eurasian wild boars, and hybrids of the two.
Feral swine have been reported in more than 35 states. Their population is estimated at over 6 million nationwide and is rapidly expanding! Range expansion over the last few decades is due to a variety of factors including their adaptability to a variety of climates and conditions, translocation by humans for hunting and a lack of natural predators. However; once again... the estimate of 6 million feral wild hogs throughout much of the USA is... old news! How old? Honestly, at least 9 years! This is not one of those millennial woke statistics that comes out of thin air... because it is filled with hot air! The situation or statistical analysis is somewhat similar to that of the pythons and the alligators in Florida; which can be read about in this green prophets 2 Posts on the alligators of Florida: (a green prophet) is Right! Google, Alexa, the Experts and the Net... are Not! and Conclusion: How Many Alligators are there in Florida? Drum Roll Please! Then there is the single Post about the invasive pythons: Florida and the Python Phenom!
My fellow Green-Lings and Green-Wings; Here is some food for thought. A single wild sow can have 3 litters in 2 years. They are breeding age in less than six months from birth. A wild sow comes into heat every 3 weeks, unless she is already pregnant and they can continue to breed for more than 12 years. The momma's average 3 to 5 young per litter and can have 10 or more and they are also very protective of their young piglets. Add all that to the fact the expert's estimate is at least 9 years old; and this green prophets ges-tim-ation is... that over more than 35 states there are now probably more than 20 million wild hogs! There are probably more than 4 million in Texas alone! If you doubt this green prophets ges-tim-ation, read his 2 Posts about the Alligators of Florida! When you are finished... you will not be able to refute or dispute! So, now that ignorance has been replaced with intelligent information... unless you are content to live in denial ... You will likely believe! This is the foundation of the mantra at the end of every Post! The more you read... the more you may believe. ; -)
Although now in Texas, 25,000 to 30,000 wild hogs are taken by hunters annually, it is not even the interest on the principle! The hunters are not enough! This is a War for the land that feeds us! People... we are losing this war! Just like Obama with ISIS! The problem is not being taken seriously enough! Just as with the Alligators and the Pythons in Florida... this green prophet wrote about here; not enough is being done! We must use every means at our disposal! Whatever we have and whatever we can come up with! Mother! Necessity is calling! Invent! The USDA, in 2019 declared... Idaho, New York, New Jersey, Minnesota and a few others to be... "Feral Hog Free"! Ha-Ha! Yeah right! You know... ISIS was declared gone too! Yet another thing this prophet knew was not true, when it was... declared! In addition, the transport of wild hogs into areas where they are being more successfully disposed of... must be... Declared a Crime! Heavily Fined, for first timers, and those who do not learn from the fine, must be confined! OK AOC... Legislate! Hunters! IF, where you are, you cannot find the wild hogs to hunt, Good Job! Go to where they are still a real problem; and keep up the good work! Don't get fined or confined!
Now, here is something special for all you vegans and vegetarians. It is not bovine... that threatens your breakfast, your lunch, your dinner and everything in-between... It's Wild Swine!
OK; Here is some more green food for thought for all of you vegans and vegists! Hey, if you Leftists can coin words that do not otherwise exist, then "We the People" in and on the Right can do it too! Besides, the other word is five syllables! That word needed some trimming! The truth is, cows do not threaten your kale, wild sows do! Some day soon, you may be crying out... where's the beets! Much like we used to wonder... where's the beef! Hahaha! If you are not at least 50, you might not get that reference. The point is, you will need to lay off all bovine and go after all wild swine for GHG reduction! Keep your passion, about reducing GHG, just change your direction! For success, redirect! One thing is for sure, before "We the People" in and on the Right... let the cattle and dairy businesses die... wild pigs are going to have to learn how to fly! Hahaha!
But, if appealing to your humanity is not working, then how about your vanity. There just may not be a whole lot of selfies taken when there are... No Cosmetics! Remember the very first Batman movie with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson? Hahaha! Don't believe? Keep reading! On the bright side... You will get more sleep, get where you need to be on time and it will be much safer on the roads for all of us who do not feel the need to apply make-up while we drive! Lastly, this is this green prophets favorite argument for eating animals. "GOD gave us a pledge with the plants." They provide us with the oxygen we need to survive... and we exhale the carbon dioxide they then remove from the air for their existence! Hunters, Cattle Ranchers, Farmers and now, Feral Wild Hog Trappers, honor this covenant much more than most. This green prophet likes to use simple country logic. "We got a deal with the plants; oxygen for carbon dioxide; got no deal with the animals. One less animal... more air for us!" Seriously though, the reason for this Post is not to perpetuate a carnivores and omnivores vs all herbivores war! No! It is so that you may all see and come to believe... We are all in this together!
A group of South Louisiana hunters would probably not be your first choice as technological developers; nevertheless, this is their story. Years ago, the group of South Louisiana hunters learned of the problems faced by the U.S. of A. and other countries from the damage caused by wild pigs. At that time no one had been able to develop a successful means of controlling or eradicating the wild hogs. Well, a few folks may know what happened next. The group of South Louisiana hunters learned about what seemed to be the impossible task that science types smarter than they could not solve, and they thought; “We can do that.” That’s how Wildlife Management Services, was born.
They did succeed to a degree; their small family of hunters and fishermen built a machine that was capable of feeding a sodium nitrate based toxin to only feral hogs, and nothing else! They gave it the most clever name; H.A.M. or Hog Annihilation Machine. They created an incredible delivery system for administering a toxin infused food to wild pigs! But to date, there is no toxin that is approved for use! The reason is scavenging birds, such as ravens, crows and vultures feeding on the carcasses of the wild hogs also died from the toxin they first tried. So, the use of H.A.M. has been discontinued. You can see all other remarkable Wildlife Management Services machines... at wiseyefeeder.com.
Since there was and still is... no toxin approved for use with the Hog Annihilation Machine, Wildlife Management Service; wondered what else the concept of such a stealth machine could possibly be modified to do? Upon asking the question, sometime later after some simple redesign... Wildlife Management Services released WiseEye Smart Feeders! WiseEye Feeders allow ranchers, hunters and outfitters to feed only the species of animal that they choose, and keep everything else out. WiseEye feeders also use their cameras and technology to create mountains of useful data for the hunter such as when their deer will be back to the feeder. So instead of using their technology as intended; to help rid our country of an ever growing invasive pestilence, they redesigned it to help lazy hunters... who want to just shoot the game that has been trained to graze! Bravo Wildlife Management Services! Now all you need to do is get ranchers and farmers and even the state and federal governments to purchase and give tax breaks for your mechanisms to make a dent in the devastation done by these demon-beasts! People may want WiseEye... they need H.A.M.! But, while H.A.M. is rejected, WiseEye, HuntControl and others, can be used against the wild swine, until the problems with H.A.M. can be corrected and the process can be perfected!
People seem to love the WiseEye Feeder, but Wildlife Management Services always thought they could do more with the technology. So then, they created HuntControl.
HuntControl; gives the same type of data that the incredibly advanced feeders provide. Using HuntControl even the most novice hunter can set out a trail camera and get incredible amounts of data to help them hunt better. That is the real goal; to make hunting easier. Wildlife Management Services hopes their technology can help provide hunters a more successful deer and or any other animal hunting season. Wildlife Management Services also hopes that their technology helps to reach out to the next generation of hunters so that what this green prophet would characterize as a somewhat less sportsman-like sport, can continue. But hey, feel free to be a hog... and fill your freezers and feed your families and gift your friends all the feral pigs you can kill... through the use of HuntControl and WiseEye related products! Now we will look at a couple of other solutions.
BoarBuster: This is directly from their website... boarbuster.com. "The BoarBuster is a research-based cutting edge trapping system developed as a solution for managing the nations exploding feral hog population. Scientific research conducted over a 4 year period by The Nobel Research Institute demonstrates that the BoarBuster feral hog trapping system captures 88 percent of the animals in a given area, (more) effectively reducing the overall (of a given area's) population. The Jetson's like technology: BoarBuster, can be observed and dropped remotely from anywhere with Internet service, is mobile so you can take the trap to the hogs and easily set up within 30 minutes, and has an integrated load-out door to easily remove hogs from the trap. The BoarBuster System incudes the following: 24/7 Alerts; Hog motion alerts sent directly to your phone. Live Video; View video from your trap on your phone or computer. 4G LTE; Cellular access on both AT&T and Verizon networks. Deploy Trap; Deploy your trap with one button on your smart phone. See in the Dark; Specially designed low light camera system. Trap Design; Suspended trap allows hogs to enter from any direction." OK; this green prophet has seen this 21st century feral-hog catching apparatus in action and Wow... it was impressive! If an entire sounder enters into the center of your BoarBuster Trapping System... you could be at the office or home watching TV; get a text, check the video on your smart phone; and in less time that it takes to clear your throat.. they are all caught! It really was and is amazing! Note: Female wild swine and off-spring travel in groups from 2 to 20 or even 50 pigs and piglets, called sounders. In an online video, there were 30 captured at once! That is a lot of BLT's! The down side: System is controlled by an app; so must subscribe and a strong cell service is needed for it to work. Also need enough flat land... on hand.
{Favorite} The Pig Brig: Another great name and... Wow! It works! Old School Rules! Compared to the afore mentioned apparatus, this trap is privative! This is Flintstones... not Jetsons! You won't go broke to own one! The Pig Brig will easily pay for itself! This is from the website: pigbrig.com. "The Pig Brig is the easiest most effective feral hog trap system. "We've built the perfect wild hog trap." Our patent-pending design is: Lightweight; Trap weighs only 75 lbs. (Not including T-posts). Can be taken anywhere. True Multi-Catch; Capture up to 45 pigs at a time with no gate and continuous entry. Low Cost; No cell service or subscription needed. Plus, reduce crop, livestock, and land damages. Easy Set Up; Help may be desired but not required. One person can set the trap in under an hour. Easy To Transport; The trap system fits in a 20 gallon tote for convenient transport on the back of an ATV. No Fuss; The trap is the technology. No cell service required, no remote activation or subscription necessary. 60 Day Returns; Risk-free! If you don't love it, return your Pig Brig for a full refund within 60 days of purchase. (U.S. Only). On-Call Support; Need setup assistance? Have a question? We are pig catching experts. Call, chat or email anytime. Proudly built in USA!" OK! The Pig Brig is... less complicated to transport, setup, operate and even write about! But the real... Big-Pig-Brig difference, is this trap is never sprung! Springing a trap scares pigs outside of the trap away! Feral pigs are smart... they will not likely make the same mistake twice! To a degree, having pigs caught inside The Pig Brig, actually attracts more pigs to enter the trap! When other brands are sprung... your done! Hahaha! Requires least prep-time and flat terrain of all multi-capture traps. No relays or moving parts! No flat bed truck needed to transport! No tool box needed to assemble! Only need a small sledge hammer or mallet! The Pig Brig has... No fear triggers! Again, wild pigs are smart and very wary! The Pig Brig is the trap pigs not caught never learn is a trap!
Economic Damages
Wildlife Management Services original apparatus and product called the Hog Annihilation Machine or (H.A.M.) is no longer a real priority to the company. However; wild hog annihilation must remain a priority to the United States department of Agriculture or (USDA)! Why... Because according to the USDA study, wild hogs can be blamed for a minimum of 1.5 billion dollars in damages every year in the United States! The feeding habits of the wild hogs make them especially destructive to all crops, woodland habitats, levees, moist soil units, right of ways and even golf courses!
Wild hogs can cause massive losses for farmers during planting and before harvesting by trampling or eating crops or rooting up and eating seeds before they can sprout. Destruction of seedlings by the wild hogs during forest regeneration operations can also be an economic detriment in many areas.
Native Species Damages
Wild hogs also cause damage to native flora and fauna as well as the habitats in which they reside. Whether by direct predation of small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, eggs, and insects, or by competing with animals such as white-tailed deer for valuable resources, wild hogs create a stress on almost all native wildlife species. The disturbances caused to the soil due to rooting behavior can cause invasive plant species such as Chinese tallow to become more prevalent.
The Chinese tallow tree produces seeds at a young age. The seeds are then quickly spread by birds and moving water. The Chinese Tallow trees are able to become established in either sun or shade, and the fallen leaves produce compounds that alter the soil, making it difficult for native vegetation to become established. Tallow has been used by herbalists to treat skin ailments and as a purgative and tonic, but the seeds and fruit of the tree are poisonous to humans as well as to many animals. Sheep and goats have been known to eat the leaves however, the Chinese tallow leaves are poisonous to cattle.
Other Concerns
Many of the places where wild hogs are now found are home to threatened or endangered species. Many species such as wading birds and shorebirds, amphibians, alligators, and even sea turtles are suffering a decline in reproductive success or population declines due to the predation of eggs by wild hogs. Yea; on the alligators! Boo; on everything else!
Diseases and Health Risks
Wild hogs are capable of transmitting at least 30 virulent and bacterial diseases and at least 37 parasites. Many of these maladies can be transmitted to livestock, pets, wildlife, and even humans. Diseases such as Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, and Pseudo-rabies can threaten the populations of native species, livestock production, or human health. Another concern of wild hog disease, especially within the livestock industry, are foreign animal diseases; FAD. These diseases such as Classical Swine Fever, Foot-and-Mouth Disease, or Bovine Tuberculosis could be catastrophic if introduced or re-introduced to domestic livestock production. For example, an outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease is projected to cost the livestock industry $14-20 million if it occurred in the U.S. today.
Wild hogs also reduce water quality by increasing turbidity, which can change the composition of native plant and animal species. They also introduce large amounts of coli-form bacteria E. coli, which can be spread to other wildlife, livestock, and humans.
Hopefully AOC, you can now see, that doing everything we can to rid our country of this wild pig pestilence is paramount to our own preservation. There is also the bonus benefit of the annihilating of wild hogs which is the elimination of the wild hogs present and future Green House Gases or GHG! That is the smallest reason or the bonus reason your focus should be on all wild swine... not at all on bovine.
OK AOC; here are better reasons you and all of your pseudo-scientists should call it quits for wild sows not all cows; eliminate wild swine not bovine; eradicate feral hogs not domestic heifers! Hey AOC! Since you are so into simple-minded solutions here are a couple literally off of the top of this green prophets head! First, a national year-round hunting season on all wild swine! But since some of this segment too was first written 10 years ago... it seems those in political power at some point, finally caught on. Second, Wildlife Management Services machines could have the more practical purpose they were born for! Yes now, WiseEye and HuntControl feeders and cam-computers, BoarBuster app traps and the less-techno savvy, but more echo-friendly and effective Pig Brig trapping systems, can help us rid the U.S. of this mess! Hahaha! So if the problem is really prevalent on your property, check out one of these and possibly, your problem will be solved!
Beef Cattle... Sector At A Glance:
Cattle production is the most important agricultural industry of the United States, consistently accounting for the largest share of the total cash receipts for agricultural commodities. In 2021, cattle production was forecast to represent about 17 percent of the $391 billion in total cash receipts for agricultural commodities. With rich agricultural land resources, The United States has developed a beef industry that is largely separate from its Dairy Sector. The U.S. Beef Industry... is unique when compared to countries like India that produce beef from water buffalo, which are used as dual purpose animals. In addition to having the worlds largest grain fed-cattle industry, the United States is also the worlds largest consumer of beef. Which is primarily high value, grain-fed beef. The U.S. beef cattle industry is often divided into two production sectors: cow-calf producers and cattle feeding. This is according to the USDA Economic Research Service; An official website of the United States Government.
Dairy Cows:
June is National Dairy Month, making it a good time to highlight the important role family dairies play in the global food system. At the same time, reflecting on the economic difficulties that America's dairy farmers are currently facing. The dairy farm is the cornerstone of American agriculture. Over the years, dairies have proved to be central to rural communities. Yes, the Dairy industry provides a crucial source of income and way of life for thousands of families.
Millions of Americans, and many people across the globe, enjoy the flavor and nutritional benefits of America's dairy products. In its many forms! This green prophet personally, never bought into the now known to be fallacy... that cheese was hazardous to our health! He will not give up bacon as in his beloved BLT... or beef as in burgers for the same reason; and let's not forget meat-lovers pizza! Once more... this green prophet was right! May dairy always be an important source of nutrients for young children, elderly adults, and everyone in-between! Whether it is a cold glass of milk with fresh from the oven homemade cookies, a grilled ham and cheese sandwich or some savory mac-and-cheese for dinner followed by a bowl of ice cream for dessert; Dairy remains a staple of the USA's diets.
Dairy is not just delicious, apparently, according to the most recent studies, it is a healthy food group! In addition, dairy contributes significantly to... The American Economy! Reports show that the dairy industry accounts for a percentage of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product, that amounts to an economic impact of $628 billion! The industry also creates nearly 3 million U.S. jobs that generate around $159 billion in wages! So we hope you see AOC; the significance of dairy to the rural agricultural economy cannot be overstated!
American Dairies provide a vital source of income to rural families. The overwhelming majority of the dairy farms are family owned and operated; keeping earnings in the rural areas and stimulating the rural economies of the USA. The average size of a dairy farm herd is around 200 cows or less. Farms with fewer than 200 cows account for 87 percent of all dairy farms.
America's family dairy farmers continue to work hard to provide milk, cheese and all other dairy products as well as work ethic oriented jobs, and a sustainable future for their families. But, unmanaged milk inventories and unfair to the farmer prices have made it near impossible for most dairy operations to make much of a profit!
Since the turn of the century, the number of U.S. dairy farms have rapidly declined! From 1992 to 2018, more than a staggering 94,000 family dairies closed their doors at the saddening rate of 10 dairy farms per day! Unfortunately, this trend has continued at a steady pace. Just in 2019 by June... 2,731 dairy farms went out of business! Amidst the continuous decline of dairy farms, the production of milk amazingly has not slowed!

Conclusion:
Question: If the eradication situation concentration shifts from all bovine to all wild swine... what does the country lose? Answer: Nothing! Except a very serious maniacal menace! An agricultural and environmental... nightmare! Ridding our country of this plague of wild hogs would only be... a good thing all around!
Question: What does the U.S. of A. lose if AOC does not change her mind-set? Well... Wow! That is a much longer conversation! But while this prophet is sure to miss things, here we go folks!
Only 60 percent of a cow is actually used for food. Here are some of the strange things that happen to the other 40 percent. From lipstick to jet fuel; cows provide it all for "We the People". According to the original writers, Gene Kim and Jessica Orwig; and The National Cattleman's Beef Association; some of the most common and surprising products contain... cow parts!
Cattle; are better known to most of us as sirloin, brisket, steaks, short-ribs, beef roasts and of course, hamburger. But what you see in the meat aisle is only part of the cool cow's contributions to our country! For perspective and as previously stated... 60 percent is harvested for food. The other 40 percent goes into a wide variety of products; from lipstick to jet fuel! Wow! Did not know that before! In fact, this green prophet found the information discovered... highly enlightening! We are going to begin with one of the most ubiquitous parts... the fat! The beef fat that doesn't end up at the butcher's is rendered into a product called tallow.
Fatty acids in the tallow give it a slick, oily consistency; which adds to the texture in most body creams, cosmetics, soaps, and toothpaste! So then, it literally "boils down" to this: While you minimally minded millennials want nothing to do with ingesting all the goodness cows have to offer through your faces... You all have no problem whatsoever spackling some of it daily, on to your faces! Hahaha! How do you like that vegans and vegists! Cows also provide us with a lubricant in antifreeze, hydraulic brake fluids, and jet engines and are even being tested as a bio-fuel for planes in the US Air Force! But possibly providing power for planes, is just the prologue of it all!
Fellow Green-Lings and Green-Wings; we also rely on cattle for certain life saving medicines, like insulin. Bovine insulin is nearly identical to that of humans. So then the cow pancreas, is often used to make insulin injections for diabetics. Likewise, the adrenal glands are used in certain steroid drugs. Cartilage helps make medicine for people who suffer from osteoarthritis, and the lungs are used in blood thinners like heparin.
Medicines aside; we even use cattle leftovers in plastic surgery! Yes; Collagen from the hide, is purified and injected into the face for a younger look. Hahaha! So then vegans and vegists, you will inject purified cowhide above your eyes and otherwise into your hide... but you will not absorb the collagen more naturally by eating a ribeye! Hahaha! But, it turns out that plastic surgery isn't the most common use for collagen. No folks; that title goes to gelatin, which is made from boiling cow bones and hide. Gelatin gives that distinctive gummy texture to foods like certain marshmallows, caramels, gummies, and jams! How can a cow be so... Wow! Hahaha! Here are numerous non-consumable products derived from cows divided by the specific parts they come from:
Cow Fat: Chewing Gum, Candles, Detergents, Fabric Softener, Deodorant, Shaving Cream, Perfume, Cosmetics, Lotions, Crayons, Paint, Lubricants, Bio-diesel, Plastics, Waterproofing, Cement, Ceramics, Chalk, Explosives, Fireworks, Matches, Fertilizer, Antifreeze, Insulation, Linoleum, Rubber, Textiles, and Medicines.
Cows Milk: Adhesives, Plastics, Cosmetics, and Medicines.
Cow Blood: Imitation Eggs, Cake Mixes, Dyes and Inks, Adhesives, Minerals, Medicines, and Laboratory Materials.
Cow Hide: Gelatin, Flavorings, Sheetrock, Adhesives, Medicines, Vitamin Capsules, Candles, and Leather.
Cow Hooves and Horns: Adhesives, Plastics, Pet Foods, Plant Foods, Photo Film, Shampoo, Lamination, Wallpaper, and Plywood.
Cow Hair: Air Filters, Brushes, Felt, Insulation, Plaster, and Textiles.
Cow Bones: Refined Sugar, Charcoal, Fertilizer, Glass.
Cow Internal Organs: Instrument Strings, Tennis Racket Strings, Hormones, Enzymes, and Vitamins.
Cow Brain: Anti-Aging Cream, and Medicines.
Cow Manure: Fertilizers, to help grow what they eat and we eat.
There are more than 727,000 cattle ranches and cow farms in the US that slaughter roughly 30 million cows each year for beef and all beef and cow by-products. While we all love to think about the savory meats that sizzle on our barbecue grills... You all now know the cow parts we ignore are present throughout our everyday lives. So AOC; if... you are serious about reducing GHG... Think wild swine... not bovine! ; -)

To the 21st century cowboy creator... Taylor Sheridan, who gave you Yellowstone... all cow folks, both dairy farmers and cattle ranchers owe a huge Thank You... for showing the world the relevance of cows today, and importance of all those who bring us, all they have to offer.
Of all of the hats this remarkable and resourceful Renaissance Man ever wore... philosopher by far was and is this green prophets favorite. "Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or the faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can." Here is the best possible, most viable example: The 2016 Presidential Election; There was absolutely No voter fraud; "on the Right" and they fought us for 4 years! The 2020 Presidential Election; voter fraud "up the yin-yang; on the Left" and we folded in 4 days! Mr. Lee was right!
"Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own." This is his wisdom that led to what is written below. "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Bruce Lee. Hopefully, this is the wisdom that prompts action.
Why, in less than {2 years} have we on and in the Right, wearing the light colored Stetsons... gone from law abiding, hard working, church going, business owning, family loving, charity supporting, essentials affording, GOD fearing legal citizens of these United States of the America's... to who and what and where We are now? This prophet will answer all in order apart from the Why... that comes last! First things first! Who are we now? We are a people who will drive anytime and anywhere; without a care, made afraid to breathe fresh Air! The What? We are now a collective of Covid cowering clowns or clones, following social media... playing games on our phones! Where are We now? We are on our way down... the DC Dems drain, in a lot of pain, but only half-heartedly trying not to drown! Time for the Why? That too is simple. Because with all they have done... and all they are doing... and all they want to do... "We the People" on and in the Right, would rather back off... turn around and walk away... than stand our ground... take more ground... and Fight!
Conclusion: No rhyme this time. OK; starting now! There is one more reason We find ourselves losing. "We the people" on the Right are (not playing the same game) as our opponents on the Left. Yes! We, are playing a different game than the subversive subterranean termite-like Washington DC Divo and Diva Dems! That is why We, are losing! We, have been and are still playing... wait for it... Soft-Ball! Ssslow Pitch... Cccity League... Sssoft B-A-L-L! But the game is Hard-Ball!! Our opponents play Hard-ball; changing the rules as they play! They play Big League... Pro League... Major League Hard-Ball!! We cannot win! No! We, are not playing the same game! So what then? Well, you think We, can get them to change their game to ours? HA! We, cannot begin to even hope to win, until We, play the same game. ; -(
An Addendum: So here We are! We, are looking at Christmas 2021 and this prophet cannot help pointing out the predicament he all but predicted... even he did not see happening in less than {1 year}! If you will recall, as what is now history was all then unfolding before our eyes, this prophet called it a... TwiLiGhT ZonE Election! He also predicted that it would turn into a BiZzArO World Administration! Yes, and here We are! We, have a 180 degree opposite outcome from the 2019 Christmas Season... which will be waaaay worse than 2020! Was he Right? Yes! Is he happy about it? No! Millions of people who were all doing so well, less than 2 years ago; are struggling to just keep their heads above water now! How could anyone be happy about that! What is that SOB... (Son of a Biden) Joe's solution? Further bankrupt the country with trillions... that were not needed in 2019, to fix what did not need fixing in 2019! To this prophet, Obama was not the brightest bulb of their bunch. Oh, you disagree? OK then! You find one kindergarten kid in "Our" country, who would be willing to do what Obama essentially did! Find one such kid in our country, who would be willing to trade 5 crisp twenty dollar bills... for 1 plain tarnished penny!
But even Obama, eventually learned it was better to lower the price of gas during the the Holiday Season! So then, from 2011 until the end of his administration... he did just that every year! That is how the Left saw to it the retailers survived during those years! They needed you to spend and to travel to neighboring states that needed your tourist dollars at Christmas time! So, from October or even earlier... the price would begin to drop! You might still be able to check the archives of (gasbuddy.com) to see for yourselves! OK; this prophet is going to revert back to rhyme at this time. So then, again, why in less than {2 years} have We gone from the U. S. of A. being... the "Great Again" it had become to comparatively, such a dump? Really only one reason. Because "supposedly" too many of "You" voted in ole geriatric Joe the "Joke" Biden, instead of rightly re-electing... Donald J. Trump. ; -)
