I married into a family of hunters and I can tell you that from a city-boy turned hunter, that the threats of wild pigs are very, very real.

They devastate crops, kill newborn animals, and are generally just a compete blight on our ecosystem, here in Australia.

When we hunt, anything over 20kg goes to the "box" which is a chiller set-up in a nearby town for pigs, kangaroos, deer and other select problem animals to be taken and processed for food.

The first time I stuck a pig, it was kinda hard, but when you see a sheep that has had its lamb killed and eaten before it has even been completely born, yu understand the damage that they can do.

They're an invasive species here and are to be dispatched on-sight, no questions asked.
