Mexican officials have unveiled plans to slaughter some 50,000 wild boars that have crossed the border from the United States and now threaten agriculture in Mexico.

The Ministry of Environment in Chihauha state said some 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres) of farmland in the border town of Ojinaga have been affected by the large number of feral pigs that have come from Presidio County, Texas.

"We must get rid of these European wild boars because they sleep overnight on US soil during the day and cross over to the Mexican side to feed," Ignacio Legarreta, a state official, told local media.

The boars of European origin, which were imported to Texas as pets and then replicated in the wild, have caused serious damage to the flora and fauna of the area, officials said.

"They have reproduced to reach more than 50,000 animals that threaten the area," said Legarreta.

The authorities intend to use cages with food inside to trap the animals.

LOL! Trust me, they would treat illegal Americans just like they do those hogs.

no doubt...btw, i think i just figured out a solution to both of our problems. they put their citizens to work, catching and killing hogs...then they don't need to come over here and they fix their boar problem. they could even help with the world hunger problem by processing the meat! i should run in 2012!

imported to Texas as pets

The writer is an idiot, they were brought on the ships of the explorers as food. Those explorers made landfall all over North, Central and South America. They weren't pets, they were livestock.

Soon to be packed by Owens and shipped back as pork products to the US, now that the WTO says US consumers have no right to be informed of the origins of meat products...
