“lining them with cattails for warmth”
Wild boars in the Eurasian steppe do the same thing in the winter.

Interesting. Maybe they can take on the muskox.

These feral hogs need to be hunted down big time.
70% of the world's supply of durham wheat (essential for pasta making) is grown within a 200 mile radius of where the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and North Dakota borders meet.
And, yeah, pigs will eat anything, including pets, people and livestock.

The real pity is that I have read they’re not safe to eat, at least the ones in the Southwest. What a waste!

In central Florida, I have seen feral pigs in suburban backyards, open fields, and by the side of the road. They are a considerable nuisance and some danger to crops, domestic shrubbery, pets, and livestock. I have some hope though that feral pigs and coyotes may prey on and help reduce the invasive pythons advancing northwards from south Florida.

Turn the super pigs into supper pigs.

We still deal with feral pigs left by the Romans in Israel.
Hunting, in general, is not a big sport in Israel, but killing these bastards is very much approved of.
They destroy everything.

They’d make short work of zombies, I suspect.

Can these be eaten?
I grew free-range chickens and they and their eggs were clearly better tasting

The real pity is that I have read they’re not safe to eat, at least the ones in the Southwest. What a waste! They are hunted and eaten in the Southwest. As long as farmers/ranchers use approved poisons like sodium nitrite or warfarin, hunting and eating shouldn't be a problem, but waiting a day or two after bait is removed might be a good idea. I'm not sure how poisoning is managed.

I eat feral hogs all the time in Texas. If I shoot them when it is hot, I leave them for the buzzards. During deer season, you just lay it open down the spine and take out the loins and hams. No need to gut them.
