Yup piggies are God's creatures too. Leave them alone. They aren't hurting anyone. Maybe shake a can of pennies at them like they do with coyotes or protect them like the wolf. Funny how when it's the golf course getting ruined it's ok to murder living things.
Ok sorry I couldn't help myself, I don't have any respect for a state that ends trapping and outlaws (illegally) most firearms.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

They know CA. is a safe place to live! Heck yes. If I were a critter of fur or food value that's where I'd live. Homeless human....not so much.

We need to start a group "save the pigs" and block all legislation with injunctions and lawsuits. Let's see how they like groups from different states weighting in on how they manage this issue. We could make videos showing how a pig can be lovable and cuddly like pumba in Disney movies. Now that’s an interesting approach !

Just incase you guys have never seen hog damage, here is a small sample of what I would consider "overnight damage" by a pack of maybe 10 hogs. Each of those "rootings" are anywhere from 2ft-3ft deep for what it's worth. We see this same thing on a wildlife preserve daily. They don't care.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

If they trap them, they will have to put them in a pen and feed them for life just like the wild horses, right? Why should wild pigs take a back seat to wolves? I believe they should set up a wild pig advisory committee to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) population goals, do a study on their diets, and they could use Wisconsins wolf population monitoring estimates and they would find out that there really isnt that many there. I know you are being facetious, but atleast here in LA the wildlife biologists have made it a point to study almost all of the ones that the government traps. They test for several diseases and monitor a bunch of other things. Coyotes definitely eat the hogs, I am quite positive that wolves would do a number on them and help make more of a dent.
