Visitors to city parks don't want to see or be bothered by feral pigs, which is why one city council has contracted with a trapper to remove the porcine problem.
Feral hogs are delicious to eat, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn to take precautions when cleaning and butchering the animals to prevent infection from a naturally occurring and debilitating disease.
When feral hogs began invading a quiet nature preserve the folks who run the preserve used trapping before adding a sportsmen's access program for hunters.
