I've been waiting years for a good feral pig story so I would have an excuse to use these two quotes.

The first comes from one of the great American novels, Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest."I haven't laughed so much over anything since the hogs ate my kid brother." This isn't original to Hammett—I remember hearing it once or twice growing up in Arkansas—but he still deserves credit, like all great writers, for knowing a good line when he hears one.The second isn't exactly a quote (I'm working from memory here), but it's close. Years ago, on, I believe, NPR, I heard a USDA researcher explaining the difficulties of trapping these animals. As he put it, in terms of intelligence, when you take into account the smartest pig and the dumbest farmer, there is quite a bit of overlap.Here's John Oliver on a legitimately serious environmental and agricultural crisis.
