Jokes aside they do pose a significant threat. 30-50 hogs can breed into hundreds in the matter of a year. They won’t only destroy crops but flip the balance of the ecosystems they invade.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Corbin Park started with only like 20 something boars and now have a stable self sustaining population in the hundreds

And that's on a literal hunting reserve

Over the years, some have escaped and started a small, but sustaining population outside of the reserve. Even though these escaped boar are both invasive and destructive, you’re not allowed to shoot them without Corbin Park’s permission because they are “escaped private property.”

Yep, people get charged with poaching for killing them, even if the boar is literally on sed persons property

Which is why you and your friends need to keep teaching everyone around you how everyday should be "Shut the fuck up Friday".

Any examples of this happening? Your allowed to shoot animals on your property if they threaten you OR your property.

So since they're escaped private property and not true wild animals the park is required to pay for any damage they cause, but u can't shoot them

But you can shoot someone’s dog for “threatening” your property. That dog is also private property.

Edit: you can’t hunt them, but shooting them on your land isn’t always hunting.

Yep, but that dog isn't owned by 50 plus of the most wealthy and powerful people in the country
