Dallas, Texas has a problem with feral pigs. The exploding population roams the metro area digging holes, breaking things, and generally reminding residents of the song "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King. The marauding swine have caused so many problems that the city has hired trapper Osvaldo Rojas and given him three years to turn the vandals into delicious bacon.
This story brings to mind the 2004 news sensation HOGZILLA, an enormous wild boar and domestic pig lovechild who measured between seven and nine feet and weighed 800 pounds. When Hogzilla originally came on the scene, he was considered by many to be a hoax. However, scientists in 2005 confirmed that Hogzilla was a real, very large creature. Then in 2007, an eleven-year-old Alabama boy claimed to have killed Hogzilla II, a feral pig weighing over 1,000 pounds, after shooting it eight times with a pistol.
There are approximately three million feral pigs in Texas today. With the high number of hogs Osvaldo Rojas will be trapping, I'd say he has a good chance of finding Hogzilla III.
