Here's a short video on feral hogs. I thought it was pretty interesting.

It would appear there are lots of hogs running wild all over the world.

I learned on Lone Star Law that they don’t like it if you knock the teeth out of a hog so you can train your dogs. It didn’t end well for those guys....

Knocking hogs teeth out has been a age old practice for hundreds of years. My grandad used to talk about doing it when they didn’t have the money for domestic hogs in the depression. They would gather up the wild ones, castrate and knock their teeth out and raise them. Even domestic pigs have their teeth cut out at birth. I guess it does not make it legal though.
