Article Synopsis
- Since 2012, managing invasive wild pigs has become a major focus in the US due to their significant economic impact, estimated at $1.5 billion annually, and their negative effects on agriculture, ecology, and native wildlife.
- Different states have inconsistent policies and regulations regarding wild pig control, influenced by varying resources and stakeholder interests, impacting the presence and spread of these populations.
- The study suggests that hunting opportunities are linked to the presence and expansion of wild pig populations, and recommends standardized, stricter transportation regulations to prevent further introduction and spread of wild pigs in states not yet affected.
