You may think so but wild pig is very dangerous to eat. The trichinosis makes a person's life miserable for a long time.

Whole lot better to relocate them to a wilderness area away from humans.

Way too expensive, and nobody else wants them in their area. They have enough. The pigs are destroyed.

I understand that they can become destructive when they mature.
But can't they be live trapped and relocated?

If you look at my photo you can see there are less than 15 or 20. I think some have already been relocated by the developer. Rumor has it that one stayed home, one went to market, one had roast beef, one had none and what the last one did all the way home is not something I think we should discuss in mixed company. That's what probably happened to the Buffalo.

That last one that went wee wee wee all the way home? I hope it wasn't on somebody's lawn.

Really? I have been hunting and eating wild hog for a while now, I have several friends that are doing the same...non of our lives are miserable...no trichinosis to date.

Relocation of wild animals is regulated by federal and state law (if you capture a racoon in your yard, turn it loose in the Ocala National Forest or city park, and a conservation officer learns of it; you can be arrested). Wild hog is an epidemic in southern states, there is no limit and the season is never closed. If they turn the wild hog loose in a "wilderness area" it better be a licensed hunt preserve to be harvested (has to be fenced to prevent escape).

I say let them get to about 80 pounds and invite some villagers to come harvest them. I know a few guys that would be up for a local hog hunt!

I have it first hand from my hairdresser's cousin's brother - it's on the job description of Community Watch to clean up after piglets.

Saw them at Pelican a few weeks ago - wow, did they get big!

[tomwed]

Well they are gone. I played Pelican this morning and they were on the first hole. After the sixth hole the ambassador said they were captured and removed.

[Apparently they had a hideout and when the first one was caught, he squealed on the others. That part I made up.]

What happened to all the wildlife whiners who are always saying "they were here first"?

Doug - The piglets are a couple months old, we have been here longer than that...

Poor little piggies. I hope we can find some forever homes for them.

At the risk of sounding stupid - are those little pigs or little wild boar? Certainly makes a difference in my world.
