Denmark Builds Beautiful 43-Mile-Long Steel-Slat Wall On Their Border To Keep Out The Nasty German Pigs

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Denmark has begun erecting a 43.4-mile fence along the German border to keep out wild boars in an attempt to prevent the spread of African swine fever, which could jeopardize the country’s valuable pork industry.

Work on the fence, which will be up to 5 feet tall, began Monday in Padborg, 136 miles southwest of Copenhagen. It was authorized by Danish lawmakers in June after the government warned that Denmark’s pork exports to non-European Union countries — worth 11 billion kroner ($1.6 billion) annually — could be affected by African swine fever. In 2016, total Danish pork exports were worth about 30 billion kroner ($4.55 billion).

Unlike swine flu, African swine fever doesn’t affect humans but it can be deadly for domestic and wild boars and cause massive losses for farmers.

We have a boar problem here in Texas too but usually, farmers just pay for people to go hog choppin because these boar fuck up their land. Enjoy!
