| Forget crocodiles and snakes, the real animal threat in Australia is wild pigs. At least if you’re camping. 99 bottles of beer in the tent, 99 bottles of beer. At a campground in Western Australia over the weekend, a feral pig guzzled down 18 beers that had been left out improperly secured. And just like anyone 18 beers in at a rural dive bar, the pig got big-headed and decided to start a fight with a cow, resulting in the cow chasing the pig around a car. "Commere, cow, I'm sick of chicken". “In the middle of the night these people camping opposite us heard a noise, so they got their torch out and shone it on the pig and there he was, scrunching away at their cans,” said a visitor. "MMM beer" wonder if it was Duff's. The pig was later reported sleeping his hangover (and shame of trying to take down a cow?) off under a tree. I wonder if he saw pink elephants. While feral pigs are considered an invasive pest in many parts of the country, it’s also a reminder to keep food and drink secured when camping. Just imagine if it had been a drunk kangaroo. |

| #3 Feral pigs are a major consequence of too strict gun control. |

| #2 The real tragedy was that the beer was "improperly secured". Most campsites I've been to only have 'empties' laying about 'unsecured' (also called by another name that is 'racially insensitive'). |
