    The way to balance the ecosystem is not with hunting. Hunting and rapid urbanization are the reasons for population imbalance in the first place due to killing of natural predators and displacing animals.

    The only way to solve these problems is to respect nature. You can't do that with sport hunting.

    Some of the most stable animal populations are in areas where regulated hunting takes place.

    Libero, they're a feral species with no natural predators that ravage the environment and breed rapidly.

    They are capable of damage to the native flora & fauna that I doubt you can comprehend.

    You cannot dump this crap on nature's lap and expect her to sort this out for us.

    We have to step in.

    For lack of any better way to say it: We have to kill them.

    What happened before urbinization took place? How was the environement kept in place with no one killing the feral hogs. If they are killed of what in nature will take their place? The hogs must have been here before population and didn't overun the land perhaps there must have been a predetor of some kind, maybe the Indians used them for food.

    Feral hogs aren't native animals. Feral animals were once domestic animals that escaped from captivity and established wild numbers. Indians never even saw them.
