Show Notes
Oregons triumph over feral swine: a decade-long battle ends, but vigilance remains. These invasive pigs, tracing back to explorers and ship releases, wreak havoc on crops and salmon spawning areas. With rapid breeding and tough nature, they were once a menace to farmers and ranchers. However, a combination of big baited traps, Judas pigs, and public reporting led to a significant reduction in their population. Today, Oregon is mostly swine-free, but strays from California pose a threat. Officials urge everyone to report sightings to maintain the states swine-free status.
