| Invasive wild pig populations continue to grow, spread through United States |
| 2017-02-03 |
| [UPI] Wild invasive pigs are wreaking havoc on North American ecosystems, a new report warns. "Feral swine cause major damage to property, agriculture (crops and livestock), native species and ecosystems, and cultural and historic resources," Gail Keirn, a public affairs specialist with the National Wildlife Research Center, told PLOS ONE. The National Wildlife Research Center, NWRC, is the research arm of the Wildlife Services program, part of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, a USDA agency. "This invasive species also threatens the health of people, wildlife, pets, and other domestic animals," Keirn said. "As feral swine populations continue to expand across the country, these damages, costs, and risks will only keep rising." |

| #16 When I hunt them, I take the young sows and leave the boars for the coyotes and vultures. Yep. Anything over 90lbs or 2 years isn't worth bringing home. Although I haven't tried it in sausage.... |

| #13 The boars taste like crap. The only decent (in my opinion) eating are the sows one to two years old. The pork bellies are crap also. When I hunt them, I take the young sows and leave the boars for the coyotes and vultures. |

| #11 Trapped a few of the stupid ones this winter. Young and tender and tasty. Need to get a night scope if I am to make a dent in the population - they are tearing up the place. |

| #9 Don't eat the pig if you kill it less than 3 miles from a salt marsh or trailer park. |

| #8 "The United States is overrun with wild pigs, women, children and land at risk!!" should be the headline, and the story should be on every network and in every publication in the muslim world. |

| #1 I blame Hernando de Soto. As with most invasive species, the solution is to eat them. Luckily, they're quite tasty, although a bit peevish. |
