@soniashah @NatGeo The more I hear about feral pigs or hogs, the more I like it as a solution to many #NYC problems. There are no crops in #NYC to eat outside of gated gardens. They will be a problem for motorists. Will they be a problem for bicyclists? Their presence will encourage all bikers to go slow. They will eat non-native invasives such as #japaneseKnotWeed, #ItalianArum and #LesserCelandine as they root around.

@soniashah @NatGeo Feral pigs are the only chance of stemming many invasive plants in #NYC as their rooting behavior will wipe out #japaneseKnotWeed, #LesserCelandine and #ItalianArum,

This article confirms my belief we need #pigs or in this case #wildhogs in #RiversideParkNYC. Would they survive the cold? They would #root out all the #invasives we have such as #japaneseKnotWeed, #LesserCelandine and #ItalianArum. A downside is that the #CloisterGardens would have to be fenced in. They'd compete with #rats for food. Some may get eaten. No big deal. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/30/tales-of-killer-wild-boar-in-uk-are-hogwash-say-environmentalists
