Arizona woman attacked by herd of Javelinas
 

An Arizona woman is recovering after she was attacked by a herd of javelinas while walking her dogs last weekend, and wildlife officials say neighbors who were feeding the animals are partially to blame.

My understanding is that javelinas have very poor eyesight. Last year my wife was walking with our dog in a nearby wash. A javelina, followed by two babies, charged at the dog. When she saw how big he was she took off running and trying to get out of the wash. The dog took off after her but the babies started following the dog instead of their mother. Took awhile to get the family reunited. :D

If you're out in the hills of AZ without a gun then you're also part of the blame.

Could have been worse, could have been attacked by Armed Undocumented Democrats......

I was gonna ask why the headline didn't read, "Arizona woman attacked by herd of Javelinas; Pig roast at Sid and Nancy's next Friday ... Bring a hearty appetite."

She must be a California transplant. :eek: :rolleyes:

We have mountain lions all over this area, rattlesnakes, illegal aliens, etc. Common sense would dictate that you at least carry a friggin walking stick, can of mace ........ But, Common Sense is soooo rare these days it's a superpower. All the morons will bring a bottle of water but will they bring anything to defend themselves, nope. These are the sheeple.


And I've yet to hear anyone sing the praises of Javelina meat...... not a animal I'd hunt unless very very hungry.

You out there Mark46th?

Haven't eaten Javelina myself. But friends who have say it can be a bit musty.

Yep...could have been a lot worse. Arming oneself in that area is smart.

LOL. Like these guys:

Clearly being liberals :D none of 'em thought that being armed was a priority. Despite many such attacks happening in National Parks every year. Oh wait National Parks are gun free zones.

Something else to remember about pigs in general- They can't jump. Get up on a tock or up in a tree a few feet above the ground and you will be safe.

lol, trees in southern Arizona? Surely you jest. ;) There are no trees except in cities.

That's why I added rocks!

What? You have never seen a pig fly:eek:

Had a SGM keep saying you can only do it when Pigs fly.... Guess what we made one fly... The landing was not that good but he did taste good after he was tenderized. :p

We've got lots of mesquite trees, but climbing one would do more damage than the skunk pigs! :eek:
