Feral hogs are considered a problem in Texas— a state where practically everyone has a gun and an insatiable appetite for barbecued meat, and they still can't get the populations under control.

Turns out, exterminating all natural predators of a species lets that species go bonkers.

Except hogs are also invasive. They don’t have natural predators cause they’re not supposed to be on the continent.

its why pig hunting is so important here. good source of food and also keeps wild hogs from destroying the native plantlife

They poison these hogs so the meat isn't edible
