Special effort launched against feral pigs (AUDIO)

August 27, 2012 By [email protected]

The conservation department has its first comprehensive plan to eliminate an estimated ten-thousand wild animals that have become significant problems in Missouri. 

It’s always hunting season for feral pigs.  They’re such a pest, mostly south of I-44 and in the Truman Lake area, that Governor Blunt set up a multi-agency task force in 2008 to find a solution to the problems they cause.     

The conservation department’s Rex Martensen says they’re big problems for farmers.

                                   AUDIO: Martensen :33

And the only thing to do with them is kill them.  He thinks the department kills about 500 a year.  Records are not kept on how many are killed by others. Some people say they’re okay to eat.
