They are the smart, brave and often beautiful women who love nothing more than posing with a 100kg wild boar slung across their backs or lying dead at their feet.

They are among the growing band of Australian and New Zealand women who hunt feral pigs, chasing them in utes through the bush and across outback properties before killing them with guns or knives.

And the rising popularity of pig hunting for women, which is now documented on Facebook, is not only because its fun, but because its for a good cause - protecting the environment from the degradation which feral pigs cause.

她们是聪明勇敢美丽的女人，背着100 公斤野猪或者踩着它们尸体的女人谁会不爱呢。

她们是生活在野猪区，来自新西兰和澳大利亚的女猎手。她们追逐猎杀野猪，在它们跑进生活区之前。

随着猎猪妇女的人数的上升，这些是非死不可上的数据，这不仅仅是因为有趣，还因为一个很好的理由——消灭野猪保护环境

One of the newest magazines promoting the burgeoning industry of women hunting pigs is called Chicks Smashing Grunters and after less than a year in circulation, it has 14,622 likes on its Facebook page.

Using the prize of a specially designed head mounted night light for hunting pigs, the magazine has attracted photographs by women pig hunters posing with their trophies around Australia and New Zealand as well as thousands of readers.

The magazines latest cover girl Tegan Stanley only began pig hunting a year ago when she move states to be with a new partner who now says she has developed into a gutsy hunter.

Ms Stanley, who told Daily Mail Australia that she had only moved from Tasmania to Bunbury in Western Australia last year to live on a farm with her partner and that they hunt with dogs and knives.

《小妞猎野猪》，一份展现新兴行业女猎手风采的新杂志，出版一年来，非死不可上已经有了14622 个粉丝。

以夜间狩猎头部装备为奖品，该杂志吸引了来自澳洲和新西兰的众多女猎手投稿的同战利品照片，同时还有成千上万的读者。

该杂志最新封面女郎Tegan Stanley ，一年前她和新伙伴搬家后才开始猎猪，现在已经是个勇敢的女猎手了。

Stanley女士告诉澳洲每日邮报说，她和伙伴去年从 Tasmania 搬到了西澳大利亚的 Bunbury 的一个农场，她们带着狗和刀打猎。

Tegan Stanley (pictured) said a photograph of her in a bikini top sitting on top of a live female pig saw her cop a bit of flack from the critics but says it was taken on a 40 degrees day.

My partner reckons that Ive got more guts than a lot of the blokes out there which is good, she said. I have no hesitation in running and grabbing a pig.

Ms Stanley said a photograph of her in a bikini top sitting atop a live female pig has copped a bit of flack by the critics but that it was taken when it was hot! 40 degrees that day.

When photographs of women in Chicks Smashing Grunters - some posing in bikinis or revealing tops with massive dead pigs - attract abusive comments or attention from so called greenies, the magazines editor Louise Warren comes down on the people posting the comments.

“我的同伴说我比其他人更有勇气，”她说，“我轻易就能追上并捉住野猪。”

Stanley 女士说那张穿比基尼坐猪身上的照片是因为天气太热了，那天有 40度。

《小妞猎野猪》上一些女性的照片——穿着比基尼或者和大量野猪尸体摆拍的——引出了很多虐待评论以及对所谓“新人”的关注，该杂志主编Louise Warren 总结评论后表示。

Ms Warren responded last week to a critic of her latest June edition of Chicks Smashing Grunters, who had posted: I didnt realise your mag supports killing animals for no reason! and called the magazine African Safari ... ego hunting murders!.

Ms Warren wrote, You do realise that they are bred to hunt and the money people pay goes to the conservation of animals over there dont you? If it wasnt for hunters paying massive amounts of money to hunt a lot of these gorgeous species would be extinct.

She added, If you do some research you will see the many benefits to each species from paid hunters. So it is not "killing animals for no reason".

Warren 女士回复六月《小妞猎野猪》杂志的一条评论，“我不知道你们杂志竟然支持无缘无故杀害动物的行为”，评论者还致电杂志“看看狂野非洲吧（非常不错的一部纪录片）……自负的狩猎谋杀者们”

Warren 女士回复道“你确实知道他们的狩猎行为，是有人付钱来杀掉动物保护环境么？如果不为猎人提供大量赏金去猎猪，很多美丽而特别的动物就会灭绝。”

她还补充道“如果你做点研究，就能发现给猎人赏金有很多好处。这不是什么无缘无故的杀害动物。”

Ms Warrens comment are supported by the Federal Department of the Environment which currently has a Threat Abatement Plan for feral pigs on public consultation.

The government paper lists the animals and plants destroyed by feral pigs and details the extensive water and soil degradation by the species, Sus Scrofa, as well as the diseases they spread.

Women who posted pictures of themselves with the feral pigs they had killed told Daily Mail Australia they enjoyed getting out with friends and family and killing pigs while at the same time doing their bit for the land.

I grew up in the Snowy Mountains on a farm where I was introduced to hunting at a young age by my Dad, Tanya ORyan of Central Western NSW said.

Feral animals would often be the culprits for taking newborn lambs and pigs in particular for ripping up a fresh new crop.

Warren 回复的那个计划——消除野猪保护环境，是联邦部门支持的。

政府例举了很多被野猪伤害的动物和破坏的植物，它还导致土壤退化和传播疾病。

张贴出野猪战利品的妇女们对澳洲邮报说他们喜欢跟家人一块杀猪，同时还能保护土地。

“我自小在雪上的一个农场长大，是我爸教会我狩猎的。”新南威尔士西部的 Tanya ORyan 说。

“野生动物经常袭击新生的羔羊和小猪崽，还作践新长出来的农作物”

Tanya ORyan (pictured) says: I really enjoy doing my bit for conservation and ensuring that all ferals are dispatched quickly and humanely. I go out hunting with my husband and quite often friends and family will come for a visit and a hunting trip

Tanya ORyan （图）说“我真的很享受这种保护环境的狩猎，只是务必要确保杀死野生动物时迅速人道。我和丈夫狩猎时经常有亲友来围观。”

Bree Tattam 在昆士兰内陆的照片，图中野猪是她帮助父亲猎杀的，她的父亲史蒂文说，这个聪明的物种会突袭家禽并破坏土地。

It was six years ago when my husband and I moved to Far North Queensland that I really got into hunting pigs in particular.

When you see the devastation caused first hand by these introduced species you realise that they need to be controlled.

A year later we relocated to Central West NSW where the feral pig population has been on the rise causing landholders’ grief due to loss of stock and spread of diseases along with the rooting up of crops, creeks and rivers.

I really enjoy doing my bit for conservation and ensure that all ferals are dispatched quickly and humanely. I go out hunting with my husband and quite often friends and family will come for a visit and a hunting trip.

“六年前，我和丈夫搬家到北昆士兰，那时起我开始狩猎，尤其是野猪”

“当你亲眼看到这些家伙造成的破坏时你会真正意识到需要控制他们的数量了”

“一年后我们迁居到中西部的新南威尔士，那里的野猪数量疯长，给当地农户带来悲剧性的破坏，收成锐减，破坏庄稼，污染溪流”

“我很享受这种环保的方式，不过要确保猎杀野猪要迅速人道。我和丈夫狩猎时经常有亲友前来围观。”

Steve Tattam from the far western Queensland town of St George said his 16-year-old daughter Bree had been pig hunting since she was two years old and was now aiming to get a minors firearm licence as well as a special pig hunting vehicle.

Mr Tattam, a former roo shooter who now conducts feral control of both pigs and dingoes in outback Queensland said the Australian farming industry would be on its knees if feral pigs were allowed to roam unabated.

They are everywhere. They are amazing animals. They are bred to survive, they adapt and they eat anything, Mr Tattam said.

They destroy crops, they wreck fences, they are very smart animals and they breed like crazy. A sow can have two and a half litters a year, at ten to 12 a litter.

We are not into animal cruelty at all and that is what I teach my kids. When I shot roos - for a bounty - I professionally shot them, to the brain, no body shots.

My kids have grown up with this and when my daughter got her learners [driving licence] we were going to get her a car but she said she needed a pigging ute, like a dual cab Hilux. Crazy!.

Steve Tattam 来自于西昆士兰的圣乔治镇，他说他的 16岁的女儿布瑞从两岁起就开始接触猎猪生活，现在的愿望是得到猎枪许可证和一辆特殊的猎猪车。

Tattam 先生，袋鼠射手，现在昆士兰响应政府号召改猎野猪和澳洲野狗，以控制他们的数量。

“他们到处都是，这种不可思议的动物，生存能力超强，找到啥吃啥从来不挑食。” Tattam 说。

“但是他们祸害庄稼，破坏栅栏，他们非常聪明且疯狂繁殖，平均每头母野猪一年繁殖两窝半，一窝约 10-12只。 ”

“我们教导孩子不要虐待动物，当我打猎时我只瞄准头部而非身体。”

我的孩子是伴随这些成长的，我闺女从学习中获得了认可（驾驶执照），我们打算给她买辆车，但是她说她想要辆像双人皮卡那样的猎猪车，吃惊吧！

Bree Tattam wanted a pigging ute when she got her provisional drivers icence and is a skilled hunter of feral pigs, says her father Steve

Bree Tattam 获得驾照的时候想要一辆猎猪车好用来展现她的猎猪水平，她的父亲说

Mr Tattams two children, Bree and 14-year-old Troy go out with him often on night trips to hunt the feral pigs which roam on nearby properties to St George.

The teenagers do not yet use firearms in the hunt. Instead the familys dogs hunt down the animals and Troy and Bree go in with knives to kill them. Theres a lot of skill in using them, he said.

He described driving out at night in his vehicle with the dogs in the back and his son and daughter in the car.

The dogs are let go and they take 300 to 400 metres for the dogs to run down the pigs, which average about 70kg to 110kg.

My daughter will have two hands free, because you dont run with knives and then you grab the pigs by the back legs and once you have them by the back legs, you tip them on the side.

Mr Tattam said feral pigs were vicious killers on goat farms in the region. On one major goat farm there were about 1700 goats on the property and youd drive in [among] the goats and there were actually pigs feeding on the kids as they were born, he said.

We would do that night after night after night. If you love your country you would do the right thing and get rid of the feral animals running around.

Theres roos, pigs and wild dogs. We had a professional dogger out here and in the first two weeks he got 27 dingoes and 35 in the second week.

Dingoes just kill for fun. If there was no feral pest control there would be no farming in Australia ... or not much.

Photographs posted on Chicks Smashing Grunters site and an another Australia hunting magazine Facebook page for women, Babes & Boars, show women proudly showing off their catch.

Tattam 先生的两个孩子，布瑞和 14岁的特洛伊，经常在晚间漫步神乔治镇周边参加猎猪活动。

青少年在狩猎中不用枪。在家养猎犬的协助下布瑞和特洛伊用刀扑杀他们。用刀能学到很多技巧他说。

他说晚上他和孩子们就开车，猎犬紧随车后。

猎犬们自由追踪，70 到 110 千克的野猪他们跑 300-400 米就能追上

我的女儿们会空着双手，因为你不能拿着刀跑，这样你可以从后面抓住猪后腿，然后用腿压制住他们，然后你就掌握住主动权了。

Tattam 先生说野猪凶猛的袭击了这一区域的山羊牧场。这里最大的牧场有 1700头山羊，你得使劲挤进山羊群里，实际上野猪也会挤在这里喂养猪崽。他说

我们每晚都狩猎，如果你爱这个国家你会做对她有益的事情，控制野生动物数量。

猎杀澳洲野狗则是为了有趣。如果不控制这些野生祸害，澳大利亚就没有农业了……或者说发展不了农业

《小妞猎野猪》和另外一家澳洲狩猎杂志《美女与野兽》在非死不可上向女士们开放了图片展示区，展示女猎手的战绩

Susan Koop, from Theodore in Queensland, who operates the We Chase Boars website, posted pictures of herself with a number of animals, and put her bid in for the wolf-eyes head lamp, saying My boyfriend and I only really hunt at night I only have a touch and I always have to drop it to free up my hands a wolf-eyes headlamp would come in very handy:).

Tanya ORyan sent Daily Mail Australia photographs of a mob of feral pigs feeding at night and a swamp bed completely dug up by pigs.

One woman from New Zealands South Island posted a photograph of herself surrounded by pigs, saying My name is Hannah, the first photo is a 100lb boar, the second is a 172lb boar, the third is a 185lb boar the fourth is my biggest one yet at a massive 228.8lb the fifth is a 170lb boar and lastly is a 130lb boar.

Another site, Razorback Australia, advertises a Bush to Babe competition for female pig hunters posing with their catches.

The Federal Environment Departments feral pig abatement plan which is inviting public submissions says feral pigs are known or perceived threats to 16 endangered species, including frogs, birds and a species of small Australian marsupial, the potoroo.

The government plan says that feral pigs are found in all Australian states, often in wetlands, and consume bird chicks, reptiles, reptile and bird eggs, frogs, soil organisms, earthworms and other invertebrates, carrion, fruit, seeds, roots, tubers, bulbs and plant foliage.

The plan also list the predation, habitat loss, competition and disease transmission by feral pigs [which] includes the impacts on native ecosystems, flora and fauna due to the presence of feral pigs, their movement, rooting, wallowing, trampling, tusking or rubbing trees, and consumption of water, animals, plants and soil organisms.

Susan Koop 来自昆士兰的西奥多，她经营的网站“我们猎杀野猪”上张贴了一些她自己和野生动物的照片，并希望获得一个头戴式探灯，她说“我和男友都在晚间捕猎，我不得不摸索进行，因为双手必须要空出来，一个头戴式照灯会很有用”

Tanya ORyan 给澳洲邮报发了很多野猪夜间觅食的照片，还有被他们破坏的湿地土层

一位新西兰南岛的女士张贴了一张她的野猪战利品照片，标注道，我叫汉娜，第一只 100磅，第二只 172 磅，第三只 185 磅，第四只是我抓住的最大个头的野猪，重达 228.8 磅，第五只 170 磅，最后那只 130 磅。

另外一家叫做澳洲猎魔的网站，发布了一个叫做“丛林宝贝”的系列照片，为女猎猪者们做宣传。

联邦环境署公布了野猪数量控制计划，并对公众解释说野猪对16 种濒危动物有危害或潜在威胁，包括青蛙，鸟类和澳洲特有的一种小型袋目哺乳动物——长鼻袋鼠。

政府计划表示，澳洲所有地方都有野猪，通常出现在湿地，捕食湿地生活的鸟类和爬行动物，以及鸟蛋和幼崽，青蛙，土壤生物，蚯蚓等无脊椎动物，腐肉，果实，根、茎，块茎和叶子。

计划还指出，野猪捕食导致栖息地的减少，竞争，疾病传播。他们对环境的冲击既包括植物物种也包括动物物种，他们刨坑打滚，胡啃乱拱，在树上磨牙蹭痒，在水里翻滚排泄，咬动物，啃植物，掘土地。
