An exploding population of hard-to-eradicate “super pigs” in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border, and northern states like Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana are taking steps to stop the invasion.
In Canada, the wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba pose a new threat. They are often crossbreeds that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boars with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a “super pig” that’s spreading out of control.
Ryan Brook, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and one of Canada’s leading authorities on the problem, calls feral swine, “the most invasive animal on the planet” and “an ecological train wreck.”
How!? Why!? It’s meat. There shouldn’t be a surplus of meat.
Guns, invasive, and well they breed in surplus so talk to the boars.
I am just shocked. The South is pretty freaken good at authentic BBQ and they have a wild boar problem. Can’t you guys just like eat them all?
I mean it isn’t like none get eaten, just not all of them. It isn’t just regular hunting, it’s basically an Emu War but instead of the Aus military it’s militias of angry farmers tired of hogs tearing up their crops.
