#1 Wild pig tastes a lot better than domesticated pork.

#2 
Here in GA and the South, we have Hogzilla's. ☺

Kills, weighing in at 800lbs, to over 1,100 lbs that have been officially documented a number of times.

This one was killed (800+/- lbs) in the outer suburbs of Atlanta.

Recommended Wild Boar hunting weapons are a Semi-Auto large cal rifle with 180+ grain rds, or semi-auto 12Ga. loaded with slugs.

Plus a large cal pistol when you get treed.☺

#3 How about catching the wild pigs and then releasing them in Gaza?

Turn all of Gaza into a pig farm!

#7 Sows become fertile at six months and have two litters per year. Litters are 6-8 piglets. Ranchers prefer to kill sows as part of the pest control effort.

#8 I see that there's a nice tall fence all around Gaza. where there's no fence is open to the sea.

Some minor repairs needed on the fence.

Perfect for containing the pigs within Gaza.

Gaza is otherwise not much good for anything else.

#9 Back when the swine flu was making the rounds, one of the 'hot' areas was northern Israel/ suthern Lebanon. Turns out the Druze have nothing against raising pigs.

#10 ^Don't know about Druze but our Bedouin trackers (on Syrian border patrol) would shoot wild pigs on every opportunity - it was "fire on suspicious movement) zone at the time. And were very good at cleaning and cooking them.

#11 The wild pigs became bold during the Covid shutdown, as I recall.
