Pity it's not generally done for sport though.  Feral pigs are a real worry
to landowners, with their destructive rooting (if you'll pardon the
expression) around the bottoms of shrubs and bushes, effectively destroying
them.  They also carry all manner of diseases, and as they're not of this
country, they compete with native species in the wild.  Fuck 'em, I say.
