A preservative used to cure bacon is being tested as poison for the nation's estimated 5 million feral hogs.

Descendants of both escaped domestic pigs and imported Eurasian boars, the swine cost the U.S. about $1.5 billion a year -- including $800 million in damage to farms nationwide.

I’m all for the eradication of feral hog’s but I do not like the use of poisons.

Trapping works if it’s done right, professional trappers use pen style traps and can catch a whole sounder at one time.
