Feral hogs spreading

For the past several years feral hogs have been spreading very rapidly throughout the midwestern states. They seem to be traveling north as the seasons change. Many have yet to see a wild hog in the woods, but soon you probably will. Many times, domestic farm pigs will get loose and start a family tree almost instantly

Feral hogs impose almost an immediate threat to everything they encounter. Even themselves in some cases. They are extremely vicious and use extreme caution if encountered. They have been known to carry diseases and will attack you. Especially a mother with her young as you are a threat. Here in Missouri if a feral hog is seen, they should be put down immediately all year round. No special hunting season is for them. They impose that much of a threat.

They severely damage the land and water sources. They tear up woodlands by uprooting all the plants and pollute the waters. They are a nuisance to farmers because they will tear up a crop field tremendously. Since they are pigs, they will eat just about anything they can find. This makes other wildlife seek food in other places. These animals need to be under a control.
