well i cannot remember the whole program i saw, but i just remember that no one was eating them... i will check it out..

I watched Pig Bomb... I thought it could have used a better name...

When i was in basic training in Georgia i saw alot the them roaming the forest, and swamps. I remember this from a couple of years ago.

OK, THAT is what every boar will look like if this continues. What happened is people bought Eurasian boars in Europe and illegally let them loose. They bred, making bigger, badder boars. how much did that one weigh?

hogzilla

and that's what a lot of people called the boars that weighed about 1200 pounds.

Boars are awesome!!!

Not the wild ones... they've broken into houses and killed people. IN THEIR OWN HOUSES.

a big chunk of the us problem has been from domestic hogs going feral and breeding. Hogs are an extremely adaptable species and a domestic hog will go ferel in a few weeks with a thicker coat, eleongation of the snout and rapid tusk growth. combine this with a high degree of intelligance, rapid breeding, large amounts of aggression and a highly adaptable diet and you have a strong survivor. Having grown up on a hog farm, well, anyone who underestimates hogs, especially large ones, is likely to get very hurt very fast.

I know they have been a major problem in southern US. pretty much anywhere they can get into large tracts of unregulated land, they will thrive. As far as eating goes, I don't think a lot of people do now, although wild boar used to be a strong staple of many diets.

you pobebly have them call fish and wild life. most of what is running wild are domestics gone feral

They are becoming such a problem in Texas (I hear...I live in FL) that I think their legislature authorized use of helicopters to locate / kill boars from the air.

Its a little graphic...

People leave out food for deer and such, but some hogs have gotten into them and that "helped" their growing cycle. As for them domesticating wolf, they're adapting to the extreme conditions (so they say). Also, people hunt them and then just let them go, teaching them to dash off away from the hunters. What the hunters want is for them to come and fight with the dogs. the dogs are one of the best ways to hunt the hogs, becuase they fight them and distract them while we take care of them.
