Once apon a time there was a happy feral pig family until one day....

Brendan decided to create a pig trap so he could wreck the inner fabric of the pig community.  Until this day Brendan didn't have the capability to create such a beast as it required a welder, steel and a heap of skill.

Brendan knew that he could go out and purchase the welder and steel but the skill would only come once the first two items have been secured. Off he went to the hardware store and returned a happy, yet poorer owner of a Lincoln Electrics 180c MIG welder, and a heap of steel.  Now all he had to do was learn how to weld.

He soon put flux coated core to steel and before you knew it he had a pig trap in his back yard and deployed to a paddock near you.  I must say that he and his mate Mav did a fantastic job creating such a engineering feat, however what good is a pig trap without pigs...  How could he find these feral animals that lurk in the darkness waiting for the opportunity to strike on unsuspecting wheat fields.  Then he had an idea, it was a fantastic idea, and idea that would dwarf the invention of the steam engine or nuclear power.....   He would often see pigs feeding on the carcasses of the dead Kangaroos that were being culled so why not put the trap around these exact carcasses..  To ensure that they pigs would find the trap appealing, he used cracked corn so it would be kinda like having desert...  mmmmmm  Rotting Kangaroos followed up by cracked corn..  To be a feral pig.. Yum Yum Yum

So a quick stop at the rural shop and he had the pigs desert, now it was time that he had been waiting for...  A time that he thought would never come...  YES it was time to set the trap...

The corn was spread and the trigger was set, now it was a waiting game...  He knew that there was a family of pigs hanging around as he has scoped out the area using a game camera, and on checking the trap he was surprised to find one of the daughters in the trap.  The trap was set once again, and the carcass of the daughter was placed in the trap so to encourage its now lonley mother..  The next morning he checked the trap once again....

YES his master plan worked...  The mother was in the trap playing with her young one as if to say...  "Stand up you naughty girl...  what are you doing laying around on the ground like that, don't you know we are feral pigs and we have fences to destroy, and fields to dig up!!!"

Unfortunately for the mother pig, the baby pig wasn't going anywhere and now she was going to join it.

THE END
