The General Manager of Sask Pork says the biggest contribution the public can make to the effort to eliminate feral pigs from the environment is to report sightings. Mark Ferguson, General Manager of Sask Pork, noted wild boar have been identified as major problem, not just in Canada but around the world.

The General Manager of Sask Pork reports efforts to bring populations of wild pigs under control in Saskatchewan are showing signs of success.

Sask Pork is applauding new measures brought forward today by the Government of Saskatchewan to regulate, monitor and control wild boar and feral pigs in the province. The Ministry of Agriculture announced that it is developing regulations for licensing existing commercial wild boar farms and imposing a moratorium on new farms. Regulations for wild boar/feral pigs will also be developed under The Pest Control Act.
