Super Pigs Are Crossing the Border — Farmers Can’t Stop Them

Feral hogs are tearing through American farmland, and farmers are running out of ways to stop them. Biologists now say the problem is moving north, and it is already crossing the border. In this film we look at what these animals do to the land, why they are so hard to control, and what it means for farms, wildlife and water. Until next one, stay wild. 📚 SOURCES Dr. Ryan Brook, Canadian Wild Pig Research Project, University of Saskatchewan: sightings, range, population growth and border-crossing estimates USDA APHIS: fiscal year 2025 feral swine program data (131,740 animals removed), aerial and thermal operations, and preliminary Arkansas research on Chronic Wasting Disease Biological Invasions (2024): habitat mapping of the northern prairies for wild pigs Pest Management Science (2023): whole-sounder trapping and its effect on pig density Dr. John Mayer, Savannah River Site: global database of wild pig attacks, 2000–2019 Texas A&M biologists: critique of the "super pig" label (included for balance) 2018 Farm Bill feral swine pilot program Animal Health Canada: Canadian Wild Pig Summit, Brandon, Manitoba Provincial and state responses: Alberta ("Squeal on Pigs"), Saskatchewan, Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota HOGGONE (sodium nitrite) field trial results Reporting from the Associated Press, CBC News and Field & Stream Subscribe to Wild Arc for more. #feralhogs #wildlife #documentary
