FYI, Fearing "feral hog apocalypse," Texas approves drastic measures - CBS News Poison is a very stupid, foolish idea. I agree with this: “We don’t think poison is the way to go,” said Eydin Hansen, Vice President of the Texas Hog Hunters Association. "He prefers hunting and trapping methods to control the invasive species. Hansen has been hunting hogs since he was 16. “It’s a way to feed your family,” he said. He worries soon he won’t want to take that risk. “If this hog is poisoned, do I want to feed it to my family? I can tell you, I don’t.” Hunters and conservationists are afraid other animals may be exposed to toxin. “If a hog dies, what eats it? Coyotes, buzzards…” said Hansen. “We’re gonna affect possibly the whole ecosystem.”
