“Our neighbor got a call …. in regard to the siting of a few wild ferrel hogs in our area. Told them to stay inside, bring in all the outside animals and turn out the lights.
I contacted John Sauls at Animal Control who said this person is not affiliated with his office and they have heard nothing. I blew it off to a practical joke, until last night.
My mother receives a call …. it has risen to 30 to 40 hogs this time. Turn out the lights, bring in all the animals and not to go outside if she heard anything. ….

I got a call a few nights ago from what I thought was a prankster… about loose alligators. The guy had such a heavy “ebonics” accent (or maybe *I* have a heavy hearing problem) that I only got part of it. I didn’t catch a name nor if he warned me to take pets inside and turn out lights. I asked him if he was my son goofing around (since my son does such things) and he said, irritated, “NO, this is NOT your son goofing around”. I laughed and said, (oh why did I open myself to his response), “Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for them.” And of course he said, “Oh noooo !!! Don’t do THAT! They’ll bite your eye right off!”
I thanked him, said goodbye and that was that. I figurerd it was just some kids having weird fun.
