[ RadSafe ] Austrian Versus Texas Wild Boar Meat

[neilkeeney at aol.com]

Maury,

As you know, there are literally tons of wild boar on the hoof over there in Texas.  You don't need to import it from Austria.  I know that in Texas, they ruin rice and row-crop production with their feeding habits.

I recall that here in the U.S., during the fall and winter large portions of the the diet of wild pigs consists of acorns and acorn 'mash' that accumulate in washes, runnels, stream beds and the like.  Perhaps the Oaks of Austria (sounds picturesque)) serve to concentrate Cs-137 in the acorn production...

Regards,

Neil Keeney

I'll have a relative from Canada soon as a guest and I am really considering to serve it to him (and me of course). Be sure that I will not attempt to have it measured for Cs-137 before by good old friends.
