Synopsis

Wild pigs. Feral swine. Wild hogs. Whatever you call them, invasive wild pigs are rapidly spreading across the US and Canada – destroying crops and spreading disease along the way.  Experts are calling them one of the greatest threats to biodiversity in the country. What can we do about it? 

To find out, we’re talking with the show’s own Dr. Jared Beaver to find out the dirty details (and solutions!) regarding wild pigs.
