It’s not hogwash, Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) actually needs your help to spot wild pigs.
“We are asking anyone who spots a wild pig to let us know,” says Dr. Erin Koen a Research Scientist with MNRF.
The Ministry put out the call for help in a media release Monday afternoon titled Understanding Wild Pigs in Ontario, stating “we’re trying to get the word out about these invasive animals”.
And if you live in the Ottawa Valley, you might just find one.
“We thank those who have already reported sightings – from the French River down to Lake Erie and east to the Ottawa Valley,” says Dr. Koen.
According to the ministry, wild pigs are nearly impossible to get rid of and once established and can cause damage to crops, habitats and native species, going as far as calling them “one of North America’s most destructive invasive species”.
