"Wild" boars in Caledon

Not the first sighting.

No tusks....doubtful these are actual "wild boars".

Ever wonder what happens when people in the city who buy "pot bellied pigs" that turn out not to be miniature?

They drive North into the country and let them go.....just like the people that get murdered in the city.....Caledon sees a lot of bodies dumped too.

Could just be females, their tusks do not stick out like the males tusks.

There are lots of places that have Russian hogs on farms, there are also feral pigs that have gotten out. Any of these can start a population, they are designed for this type of climate.

I put the world "wild" in quotations when I made this post because I feel the same way. You can also see in those photos that at least one is female.

I guess they could be some kind of city limit or safety concern, but I am wondering why none of these people didn't think to get out a gun.

Because maybe they don't own any or there is gun bylaw. They are not a danger for anyone.

They are wild board but they might have been farmed.

I was thinking the same thing. Caledon East is mostly farms and large rural properties. BANG,BANG...free hams and bacon for the smoker. Y-U-U-M-M-M!

I prefaced my comment with that possibility.

And I disagree, wild pigs are a danger to all farmers in Ontario.

I was there not two weeks ago which is why I was surprised that no one took action.

Farmers won't disappear from it! Just like weather, and I would be more worry about that, it's one more thing they are going to deal with..... They have been all over Europe for centuries, and worst for the past 25 years on the western side, and farmers are not going that bad (I own a farm there and shot my share). I'm not saying they are not an issue, they are going to lose a bit of crops from them but the end customer (us) will pay for it.

I don't know however in the news clip MNR clearly states its the owners responsibility to capture or kill them.

Shoot eat and shut up.
