If I’m a hog farmer and I can make 200 smeckles for a standard hog or get paid 400 smeckles for each “feral hog” I hand over then logically I’ll just start breeding the feral ones instead.
The market finds the most profitable solution, not necessarily the best solution.
- giardini 4y agoYou foolishly extrapolate to a market that has never existed (in Texas at least).
- cryptonector 4y agoThere is no market for feral hogs. Sure, casual hunters may pay to get to hunt a bunch of feral hogs, but professional hog hunters get paid a lot for it (they use helicopters, to give you an idea of how much farmers and ranchers will pay for that service). The value of a feral hog's meat on the market is zero.
