- Feral hogs are running wild in 35 states and the Senate is debating whether to triple funding
Feral hogs roam in 35 states, causing estimated annual property damage between US$2.5 billion and $3.4 billion through crops and environmental harm. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates populations are hard to control because hogs move across private land. Congress is considering increasing funding for anti-hog efforts via a Farm Bill debated in the Senate.
