"Feral pigs are a growing problem in the United States and also on the southern prairies in Canada and Ontario. As of 2013, the estimated population was 6 million. A conservative estimate indicates that feral pigs cause about 1.5 billion dollars in property and agricultural damage every year in the United States both in wild and agricultural lands...Feral pigs can be extremely dangerous to people, particularly when the pigs travel in herds with their young, and should be avoided when possible. Feral pigs living in the United States have been known to attack without provocation and fatally injure human beings."
