Prolific breeders – sows can have a dozen piglets each per year – the super pigs spreading south eat almost anything and they trample over farmland leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. But some farmers began to let the super pigs roam free in the wild when the boar meat market tailed off in the early 2000s. Since launching the National Feral Swine Management Program in 2014, the USDA has provided funding to 33 states, said Mike Marlow, an assistant program director.

The threat of super pigs is excellent in this country because they are innately destructive creatures. For instance, super pigs eat Canadian crops and intensely consume small mammals and reptiles. They also cause extreme soil erosion and carry dangerous diseases. Clearly, the presence and expanding range of super pigs is an environmental threat that could become an ecological disaster. In the early 1900s, wild Eurasian boars were brought to the U.S. for recreational hunting. These boars bred with the existing feral pigs, forming hybrids. Today, wild pig populations have spread across the southeastern U.S. and are made up of boars, feral pigs and crosses of the two. Though these groups have differences, all share the same scientific name and are considered invasive. Now, the estimated population of wild pigs in the country has exploded to more than six million. Canadian farmers did not originally see the super pigs as threats. In fact, it was believed that if a super pig were to escape, it would simply freeze to death in Canada. Therefore, no one could have foreseen how these super pigs would adapt to their environment. Now, super pigs are able to withstand the Canadian cold.
