"We must get rid of these European wild boars because they sleep overnight on US soil during the day and cross over to the Mexican side to feed," Ignacio Legarreta, a state official, told local media.

Good luck with getting rid of 50k hogs. Western NY state has an estimated poulation in the hundreds and they are increasing at an alarming rate even though the F&W has said shoot them 7x24X365. Once they get chased they get smart.

I mis-quoted the number in NY which correctly numbers in the hundreds but is still out of control. Your numbers in Mich are in the thousands according to what I read. I have a sister who for some strange reason has a pot bellied pig that was supposed to stay small but ballooned up to 150 pounds plus. (too many chips and pizza just like the owners). It outgrew the house and was confined to a family members barn. Now it is rooting all over the barn yard and the farm owner wants it gone. They are so destructive.
