For feral hogs or "feral pigs" as they'd call them, they were great folks to learn from and talk to via internet and at conferences, also those from New Zealand. They've been working on many of these species far longer than we have in our country and hopefully their steps on this issue will help promote campaigns here and elsewhere. Feral cats are a blight and we caused it and are still causing it. Not just the little old lady feeding the feral cat colony in the city, but the farmers I know with barn cat colonies like I had as a kid and the folks who leave fluffy out and somehow fluffy avoid predation and ends up breeding a feral cat, etc.... Truly there aren't many folks who aren't part of the problem unless they fall into the group that simply doesn't own any cats. Or they keep their cat they do own indoors 100% of the time or have an outdoor enclosure to keep the cat protected while protecting all the wildlife from the cat. Thanks for sharing Ron!

So they introduced the red fox to take care of the problem and it is now an invasive species too. If you want to go crazy, look at Australia's invasive list. They should probably kill everything and start over.
