A California senator introduced legislation that would help control California’s growing wild pig population to reduce damage caused by the invasive species to the environment, private property and agriculture.
There are now and estimated 9 million wild pigs, known as feral pigs across the U.S, expanding their ranges from 17 states 30 years ago to 39 states today doing some $2.5 billion in to property and livestock. California's likely million plus wild pigs are in almost all counties.
Senator Dodd introduced legislation that would help control California’s growing wild pig population, reducing damage caused by the invasive species to the environment, private property and agriculture. "And you only need to go once and that's it," said Dodd. "They create a lot of erosion challenges on our vineyards and actually on all our ag land," said Tawny Tesconi of the Sonoma County Farm Bureau.
