It never gets old! Along similar lines, maybe an Almiqui update might be in order...
Hi Eric:
I check from time-to-time, but I haven't seen anything in several years. My guess is that most articles written about the species would appear in journals, and perhaps in Spanish. I'll keep looking though. We had a rash of horse slashings. At first folks though there was some evil person out there going after the horses but when the law enforcement folks looked into it they found it was the work of wild hogs. This is on the NC/SC border around I-26. A fellow at a local jam said they sent their horses out of the area. So they are getting to be more of a problem all of the time.
While we've been hunkered down, they've continued their ways:

Stuart, many thanks for keeping us apprised of this developing situation. And I'm so glad that Texas does not stand alone. While we're on the subject of band names, how about the "Borneo Bat Hawks?" They are a species of hawk that preys on bats and lives in Borneo. I saw them featured on a PBS nature show last night.
When I first saw the photo in the feral pig article, I swore the pig in front was laughing. eric
