\u0027There\u0027s nothing good about them.\u0027 They carry disease and cause billions in damage

That’s not legal in many parts of Canada. But, given that it’s a problem experts say cannot be solved by sport hunting, the American approach provides some lessons, should governments adopt a robust policy approach to wild pigs.
