From Texas Public Radio:
Federal agriculture regulators have chosen Texas as the nation’s first testing site for a new type of poison aimed at culling the state’s feral hog population.
An estimated 2.6 million feral hogs have caused more than $50 million in damage to ranches and farms annually throughout Texas.
That’s one reason why the U.S. Department of Agriculture chose Texas as the first site to begin testing a new type of poison specifically designed for these intrepid animals, whose home base can range up to 70,000 acres
