What Do People And Boar Have In Common?

A new way to get rich quick.

Hunting people eat pigs. Wild pigs and boar dig up and eat people's crops – hunting human or not. People and wild pigs aggravate each other. But that is not what I am talking about here.

A while ago we considered the claim of some Malaysian farmers that human hair deters wild pigs from digging up their crops (http://wildboarhunting.blogspot.com/search?q=human+hair). Entrepreneurial Americans recently claimed that human hair is a superior absorbent in booms used to contain and soak up oil spills, specifically the major spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Not so, says the Coast Guard passing on over 100,000 pounds of human hair clippings. Now lots of human hair snippets are waiting for a beneficial use rather than rot in some landfill.

And this is where getting rich quick comes in: Offer to dispose of the hair clippings for free, bag the material in retail and wholesale quantities and sell them to landowners and farmers who complain about all the damage wild pigs are wreaking on their landscaping and crops.

Hair problem solved. Kitty replenished. Prosperity restored.

Now send me a small contribution, please, or let me hunt the nuisance boar that does not know about human hair as a wild pig deterrent.
