It seems counterproductive to prohibit hunting of wild pigs if they are invasive and becoming a problem. It would seem to make more since to open up an unrestricted cull, that would allow anyone to dispatch a wild pig upon siting. Perhaps even offering a bounty per head.
Ĺet legal firearm owners collect a bounty on them. Allow farmers to have legal firearm owners hunt them .
Get a helicopter and have people pay to eradicate the nuisance pigs.
There is no doubt that these pigs are extremely adaptable. I would recommend putting a bounty on them. If the government implements a hunting season, then the government will seek to regulate it. If we are looking to eradicate this species, we need to take action quickly.

This article has a few interesting points. If we are attempting to eliminate boars, we must begin with trapping immediately for it to be effective. They reproduce too quickly. We also have a possible risk of boars breeding with our own domestic pigs, and producing even more quickly.

Good for MNRF to get out in front of this issue. You may need to develop a strategy for the hunting community as well, given that they will be anxious to assist once the arrival of the wild pig threat occurs.

The Ministry needs to compile a list of affected producers.
Since there only seems to be a few and there is no current problem, wouldn't it be fairer to let the existing operators continue, since they seem to be acting responsibly?
