    America's feral hog problem has become a "pig bomb." Wild pigs have mated with escaped farm pigs bred for high rates of reproduction producing a hybrid that is growing like crazy. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/09/wild-pigs-are-everywhere/616389/ … 1/pic.twitter.com/JX1HZCJTwT

        Other states - and Canadian provinces, which are seeing surging wild pig populations - are looking to Montana for guidance. There's an estimated 9m feral hogs in the US, and their territory has expanded from 17 states 30 years ago to at least 39 states today. 5/
