In 1494, among the colonization forces from Spain, eight pigs arrived in Cuba. With multiple uses in culinary and craft trades, as well as their general top-tier hardiness, pigs would naturally propagate themselves throughout the Caribbean, and then to Central, South, and North America--but they were also incredibly destructive. 

And if you want to dig more into how OP pigs really are, Tierzoo's video is right here:  http://bit.ly/2KtuUQ1

Every one of the contiguous 48 states has reported the presence of feral pigs, and the populations is estimated between 6 and 7 million. The USDA reports the animals cause annual damage of more than $1.5 billion in the U.S., and in June, the USDA announced it is offering $75 million in funding for programs to eradicate or control feral swine. Humans are more likely to be fatally attacked by feral pigs than by sharks. The typical male wild pig weighs 200 pounds and it's estimated that 60 to 70,000 hog-vehicle collisions occur every year.

Legit question for rural Taíno - how do I stop the 30 to 50 thousand feral hogs that run into my island within 3 to 5 decades while my children die of smallpox?

At least it wasn't a boar!

We also have them in Hawaii, where the Pacific voyagers brought them as a food source!

I love pork and bacon and all, but a video like this has me wondering if some religions were right about not eating it because of all the issues pigs caused.

I don't Think anyone's ever been quite as excited as Matt was to get to talk about Pigs, and I am a Swineherd!
