There is a simple solution to this problem... Make them part of your next meal, and enjoy their succulent tastiness.

Just wait at the checkpoints as they 🐗 legally cross over. 😁👍

From what I hear, you only eat them at 3months or younger.

Guess we could feed them to the homeless, or...feed the homeless to them.

Muslims hate pork, so I say let as many of them in as possible.

“The market collapsed after peaking in 2001 and some frustrated farmers simply cut their fences, setting the animals free.”

No words. :( I hate wasting food.

They are not very “tasty” unless you trap them and feed them out for a while. People around here also mix them with domestic hogs for sausage.

Yum-O!

The state's Department of Natural Resources is expected to release a report in February identifying gaps in its management plan and recommend new prevention steps.

You can never have enough studies and plans.....

I can’t believe the story fails to mention CLIMATE CHANGE . . .

Zero kills to date in Alberta's bounty hunt on invasive wild boar

Online message boards dedicated to hunting are filled with posts from Albertans searching for clues about how — and where — to harvest the animals.

The province doesn't give out locations "due to privacy issues," it says.

There's the problem right there.

Wild pigs already cause around $2.5 billion in damage to U.S. crops every year, mostly in southern states such as Texas.

Imagine how much crop damage could be saved if they killed off a million pigs by allocating $200 million towards a $200 bounty per pig.

[FarCenter]

Unless you trap and castrate the boar piglets, they are inedible.

Slaughter hogs are mostly barrows and gilts.

[Alas Babylon!]

I appreciate the problem up in Canada and any Northern FReepers facing it, but down here in the South, it has been a long ongoing crisis:

This map hails from 2014, and the problem has grown and spread since.

At a time of very high grocery prices, free Bacon, Ribs, Pork Loin, Pork Chops, Pork Sausage and Pulled Pork is headed are way? People will be able to get a couple large cooler’s full for the low low price of one .223 round of ammo?

Sounds like a great deal to me.

[MeanWestTexan]

They’re full of parasites.

[Boomer]

So this is the animal kingdom’s version of woke leftist demrats.

FWIW, the reason these wild pigs are not used for meat on our tables is because they carry diseases not always rendered harmless by cooking it.

Boar-ing...

[Bon of Babble]

McDonald's will want to get in on the action for its McRibs....

[traderrob6]

Ever tasted aged boar meat....The smell alone is enough to gag you.

[waterhill]

Duh! (I live in Texas...) way better than store bought pork. We say meaner but leaner.
