Expansion of feral hogs in southern Canada a ‘true concern’ for Minnesota

Domestic pigs that have gotten loose are photographed on a game camera as they feed in a Minnesota field in November of 2019. Since 2012, the Minnesota DNR has logged nearly 100 reports of feral swine like this where farmed hogs get loose in the wild. Each case poses a threat with pigs able to quickly adjust to living and reproducing in the wild. (Contributed photo)

Invasive swine aren’t just a problem erupting from the southern United States. Large feral pigs are proving they are well adapted to cold climates as their expansion across southern Canada has them nearing the Northwest Minnesota border.
