Would superheroes participate in population control of invasive species?

>Cheetahs used to be an exotic pet fad
>Nobody ever just released a pair of cheetahs into the wild
There's a difference
1. They're fucking huge
2. Even back when they were a fad, only the really rich people can get them

a tegu is basically a fat boy variant of a monitor lizard

Don't forget the smell

That's fucking gross.

They're supposed to be good pets, as far as pet lizards go.
Sometimes they'd rather spend time with their owner than eat.

I'm just saying it would've been cool

Yes but would they even survive the new environment?
Even without humans I mean
Regarding LA, its a fucking desert

>Clark is just heat visioning feral hogs by the dozens

And serving them to the homeless, like the boy scout he is.

Doing the small things a superhero could do swiftly and faster than the norm would belittle the average joe's abilities and you would end up with this.

>invasive species control

That's cute.

Clearly you don't understand how practically impossible it is to eradicate invasive species.

Sensible dubs, but as alluded to, it might be more urgent for Swamp Thing.

I didn't think i needed to explain something simple as hunting but you two know its a career for many people to put food on the table or at least some side money. So

Superman's from the midwest, and grew up on a farm so he's likely more than familiar with hordes of wild boars.

they dont care about those, boas are acceptable to destroy, gators too but its seasonal hunting.

Even helicopter tours where people bring every kind of weapon imaginable don't put a dent in feral hog populations. you simply don't understand the detrimental impact they have on other systems. they wreck farms, damage pasture land, absolutely fuck up forests
and nobody's going to starve because the feral hog population has gone down
It's like saying we shouldn't hand out condoms to try preventing aids because it would cut into the profits of treatment medication manufacturers, the problem is well beyond those considerations

Superman would come up with a better solution.
Like moving all the hogs back to their native zones, or really quickly constructing a large reserved area to keep the hogs in until their own population becomes manageable enough for rehabilitation.

>Move mass populations back into native areas creating another major imbalance in the ecosystem
>Reserve so they can grow in even greater numbers unimpeded before being unleashed on the open environment yet again
There's really no solution that isn't a roundabout way of killing the hogs. That or somehow finding a planet where they can roam free.

Did you know we were at one point 1 vote away in Congress from having wild Hippos loose in the south?

>"Fuck you Brenda! We just got promoted and get a better house now!"

What

>Dumps then all on Bizarro World
But really a farm boy like Clark shouldn’t be too bothered by culling

Like in Columbia?

Because of high meat prices and Too control invasive water plants Congress nearly imported Hippos to solve both those problems. They were going to market it as lake cow bacon.

Meant to reply to

Sounds like a hell of a timeline.
Is Hippo meat any good?

I assume the people voting for it liked it

I just assume they're ignorant idiots.

>Superman and Swamp Thing team up to fight hogs

Fuck, I’d read that arc. If comics want to pander to current events I’d legit have no problem with the two of them confronting some sort of hog-based supervillain who controls the Hog Force using his Hog Lanterns

>somehow finding a planet
>yfw a year later the sheer statistical abundance of cosmic rays in comics means Earth will be facing an invasion of Super-Hogs

Just imagine, feral Hippos that were genetically modified and grown with steroids charging out of park ponds at random people

Well on the upside, surging attacks by animals that can kill crocodiles will surely distract people from the hog problem!

Make it happen DC you boring fucks

You just know some toxic spill or nuclear accident is going to create hordes of deadly hippohogamuses. Hogopotamuses? You know what I mean.

>when your environmental conditions accidentally create Egyptian deities
And red necks would still get drunk and shoot them

>Would superheroes participate in population control of invasive species?

If superheroes were real they most likely would have a public division or branch entirely devoted to the services of Fish & Wildlife, Forest, Lands, and Natural Resources. It wouldn't be glamorous and it'd definetly be a largely thankless job with little publicity, but they'd be saving and preserving the world in a very real way: managing poachers, planting trees, combating forest fires, ACTUAL accurate wildlife census (not just estimates), and if need be- far more 'delicate' culls.

>Would Superman just wipe out a shit ton of feral hogs in a minute?

No, of course not.
In our 'hypothetical superhero world' I fully expect this to be something of not only a "b-list to c-list" job, but a working environment extremely type-casted.. You can turn into animals? Talk to animals? Manipulate earth or water? Breath underwater? Command insects? Command fish? Control & communicate with plant life? Do you have some sort of physical mutation that allows you to thrive in outdoor conditions? Does your physical mutation REQUIRE you to spend long hours outdoors? Bam, see you at the 'office'.

I doubt any of them have ever tasted it. They just think that it'll be like beef or something cause dude they're kinda like lake cows lmao

Or we can just send all the hogs to the Phantom Zone
Just saying

Weird lookin' dog.

>Is Hippo meat any good?

From what I've heard; all the people and cultures that have eaten it swear by it. It's supposed to be truly one of the most delicious hunted meats around- which seems to be a trend among semi-aquatic mammals because Moose is supposed to be quite delicious as well.

If Hippos were introduced I'd imagine they'd become quite a problem as despite how large they are they don't actually take that long to reach physical maturity (and more or less become immune to predation). It takes 5-7 years for a Hippo to become fully grown, but they're sexually mature and can start reproducing as early as 3-4 years if things get hot and heavy.
Columbia has a population of Hippo's that escaped Pablo Escobar's private zoo and as of 2018 there's anywhere from 50-70 of them... That number is going to double in the next 10 years. Hippos are wacky.

Honestly the idea is absolutely terrifying

Did you seriously try to make a thread based on that dead normalfag meme about feral hogs, that's used to start a fucking gun debate?

>seems to be a trend among semi-aquatic mammals

You may be onto something, because Capybara meat allegedly is pretty good.

High salt content maybe?

Why? They inhabit rivers.

>If Hippos were introduced I'd imagine they'd become quite a problem
Hippos are also notoriously hyper-aggressive, territorial, and deadly. They're one of the most vicious fuckers on the planet.

Steve Irwin's said before that the most terrifying moment of his entire career was the five minutes it took them to cross a hippo-infested river

Why don't Americans shoot the stupid pigs?

Still not as disgusting as insects

I have had some moose, it's good but if no one told me it wasn't beef I wouldn't be able to tell.

The hogs dont go to schools

user, you can't just send all your problems into the Phantom Zone

Fuck, what a big oinker. Can that cunt's legs even carry all that weight?

How to deal with Wild Hogs:
1. Sell American Safaris to Bugmen
2. Bugmen love delicious porks, and would be excited about 2nd Amendmentland theme park
3. Cletus can get off stamps and welfare and make an honest living as American safari guide in Deepest Dumbest South.

Win-win.

Cause pig's are the fifth smartest animal in the world. If you don't kill all of the pigs in a group, they'll learn and teach others.

Is this a stealth /pol/ thread that everyone took at face value?

Probably but Yea Forums wasn't a fag for once.

>Columbia has a population of Hippo's that escaped Pablo Escobar's private zoo and as of 2018 there's anywhere from 50-70 of them... That number is going to double in the next 10 years. Hippos are wacky.
This is the most amazing piece of info I read this week, it's great. I mean not for the Colombian vets that have to capture and castrate those big murder machines before they fuck up the local ecosystem, but it's still funny hat it happened

They do, it’s just they breed like rabbits

No, it’s an /an/ thread, possibly /k/

Nah, he'd find a planet to put them on after tranqing them.

You mean they aren't already out there?

Which hero would Hippo-Man fight?

The fuck does feral pigs have to do with /pol/?
Shits are annoying at best and dangerous at worse. If we could it along with other invasive species it’s a win win for everyone

Only correct answer in this thread. Superman's answer for everything that's a problem but he doesn't want to kill is to dump it in an uninhabited planet.

>ruining alien planets ecosystem
That’s just pushing our problem onto another environment

No sentient life? Not a problem.

Yeah yeah, it's not like he wouldn't think things through and dump them on a planet that could handle them.

I think a bit ago there was a meme where people were making fun of hicks for saying they need ARs because they're good hog rifles, unaware that hogs are fucking problem.
>Superman bends over backwards trying to save a race of unruly aggressive invasive monsters without the capacity to even be grateful for his work
Seems like something he'd do

>Superman does what he does expecting gratitude
How about you pick up a comic book for once.

I don't think he was being sarcastic

But hogs are dangerous you kind of need a gun if you live where they live. I’m not saying it’s impossible without bows or spears but you need special training if you don’t want them to gore you.

I'm just saying what the meme was.

/pol/ is retarded if they don’t know how dangerous a giant ass feral pig that needs several shots to be put down is.
Not to mention these things eat plants and small animals. And I’m including both farm animals like chicken and plants like corn these things do so much damage it’s not even funny.

The meme was from twitter, /pol/ just used it as a spring board to complain about anti-gunners which would become general liberals which would then become the obvious from then on.
Though I don't know how big it really got since i only really saw one thread on Yea Forums bring it up and even that kind of half became an /an/ thread.

> come back a million years later to a race of angry cannibalistic hog men

>Superman is literally the satan of their religion having taken them from their utopia like home world where there were lush plants and creatures to eat

And hippos are extremely hard to castrate. Their balls just go right up into their bodies and actively dodge you. You need an ultrasound just to find where they are and try to massage them out.

Google giant feral pig for how big these things can get, but those are generally outliers. They’re usually the size of a regular pig that is to say the the size of a small human

I know they're dangerous, I'm just explaining the situation I saw.

Gotcha

If superheroes were in control, would they wipe out undesirable humans? like those with genetic diseases, physical and mental diseases?

What's the oath of Hog Lanterns?

Aren't ARs actually terrible weapons against hogs since they scram when they hear the first bullet?

I'd read it

Because "control invasive species" to "kill the brown people invading our country" is a short jump in a /pol/tard's mind and this is likely a bait thread trying to provoke that exact response.

How did we almost wipe out bison and now can't handle fucking hogs? Legit question.

Bison don't multiply as fast and are bigger targets
IIRC it was also because of environmental changes caused by humans which also wiped out a species of locust

You got that video of very emotional patriotic country music played while people shoot up hogs in a helicopter?

>They're so fucking pissed at this "Superman devil" for robbing them of Utopia that it attracts a Red Lantern ring and they all fight for it

That's the Legion's problem now.

hogs are so adaptable, they can hide in the swamp and are agile enough to work at the elevation you get in the south

Do you think superman would ever euthanize a horse with broken legs, or would he jusr heal it with some new faggot healing vision?
