Turning them nocturnal probably makes them less efficient food consumers/breeders right? Otherwise it seems like they would turn nocturnal without the presence of hunters.
So it still seems like an improvement, unless there are frequent night attacks on humans or something that don't happen in the day (if being driven nocturnal to avoid humans I wouldn't think so).
Running 100 miles away, if there is food heir they would eventually breed themselves over to their anyway without hunting anyway wouldn't they?
- kjs3 6y agoRe-read the article. The 'big risk' isn't attacking humans (tho it's a concern), it's destruction of ecology and agriculture. If you're going to dig up and eat the farmers crops, doing at night is worse for the farmer. And there's another farm 100 miles away. Further, there's nothing in the article that indicates the hogs are less efficient at night. Since hogs already have poor eyesight and extremely good smell, there's no reason to believe night is much impediment.
