Episode Details

Feral pigs are turning Australian farmland into a mess in New South Wales, tearing up pastures and choking out grass with their rooting, especially as drought forces them onto private property. With an estimated 20 million pigs nationwide, farmers are losing over $100 million a year—and experts say current government efforts, like aerial culling and trapping, aren’t enough. To make a real dent, they need to eliminate at least 85% of the local population using a full-on, multi-pronged attack. It’s a relentless battle against their rapid breeding—and it’s only getting worse.
