Will Texas Use Poison to Eradicate Hogs?
Sid Miller, Texas Department of Agriculture (DOA) commissioner, proposed a change to the Texas Administrative Code in an attempt to control the 5 million feral hogs in the state. The destructive hogs are estimated to cause upwards of $52 million in damages a year in Texas alone, and Miller suggested using poison, specifically Kaput Feral Hog Lure, a bait mixed with the blood thinner warfarin that is normally reserved for humans but happens to be lethal to pigs.
Missouri’s Plan to Control Feral Hogs Doesn’t Include Hunters
The state's proposed changes could ban hog hunting on 2.5 million acres of public land.
