I'm watching a program…

on TV called “Hogs Gone Wild.”

The premise is rather simple; people, and sometimes dogs, tracking down feral hogs. Apparently there are places in the US where domestic hogs have become feral and can do significant damage. They’re smart. They’re hungry. They can be dangerous. These aren’t the happy little pigs on old McDonald’s farm.

Living in the city I have little idea what I’d do if my small piece of land were to become home to a wild pig. Thankfully, though, they’re quite edible and I suppose I could have them over for dinner presuming I could catch them. Regardless, the show is fascinating in its own way, a hunting show where the people may be the prey if they’re not careful.
