A group of feral pigs has sparked chaos in an affluent area of San Jose after tearing up landscaped lawns at a business park in search of food, leaving employees stunned by the destruction.

Video captured along Hellyer Drive showed a sounder of wild pigs rooting through grassy areas and ripping up sections of landscaping, with workers saying the damage unfolded over just a few days.

“It was all a good patch of green grass we used to enjoy in the break time, but now it’s all messy,” employee Bhawani Shankar said.

Back to nature and eaten by pigs

I saw the headline, and I did not think “pigs”.

Wah!

They need to go after feral hogs the way Florida goes after pythons.

I know what you mean...So did I....

From the title I assumed it was them again.

‘Sounder’ - great new word to add to ‘parliament of owls’, ‘murder of crows’, etc. I’d never heard that one.

And now they know why you don’t even have to be a redneck to have an AR of some kind in your truck.

I’ve probably killed 30 hogs this year. Just let them lie.

“A group of feral pigs has sparked chaos in an affluent area of San Jose after tearing up landscaped lawns at a business park in search of food, leaving employees stunned by the destruction.” Pigs are as smart as dogs. Its true, I knew this guy in El Capitan who trained his pig to bark at strangers.

We keep them close to suburbia on purpose.
They help get rid of the bodies.

We haven’t even been able to get rid of feral hogs in Florida, even though we try. They are pretty tasty.

Feed them to the Muslims.

Feed them to the Muslims.

Maybe they’re looking for a muslim lunch

We live just south of San Jose, and those hogs have been rototilling the yards in the neighborhood for the last two, three years!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Hellyer Ave is “superrich”? What is the author smoking?

[Equine1952]

Ground is filled too.
