Wild pigs have descended on a suburban Atlanta neighborhood where they are scaring children, making a general nuisance of themselves, and acting as they if they own the place.

One large specimen was sighted on Monday morning rummaging through garbage it had strewn across Taneisha Danner's front yard in Lithonia, an area about 19 miles east of downtown Atlanta.

She said the animals were no laughing matter for neighborhood children, however, noting that some were now afraid to leave the safety of their homes.

"My children are even afraid to be downstairs, worried that he (the pig) could come through the door," Danner said.

Descendents of wild boar, the feral pigs are a particular pest in rural Georgia and notorious for damaging farmer's crops, said Charlie Killmaster, a deer and feral hog biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

The population of one of the most invasive and destructive wild animals in the United States has grown rapidly in recent years, however. What was once a largely rural problem has blighted suburban areas in other states as well.....snip~

Wild pigs menace suburban Atlanta


Talk about a town going Hog-Wild. :mrgreen: Sheesh.....listen to these people. Children are afraid to go out and play all due to seeing some Wild Hogs running around.

Wonder what they thought when it went into the backyard layed down and took a nap after it was done with the garbage can. :lol:

19 miles from downtown Atlanta.....all I can say is they best not head in downtown. Might find them on somes Menu for BBQ pork.

They also had this happen in San Francisco. Now out with those Progressives I could see why there was panic in their eyes. :lamo

Now is a Hog really one of the most invasive and destructive creatures out there?

I know - I would have more faith for the people in the ATL to take care of this, but can only say it must be because it's in the suburbs!

I have to say it was a little strange watching CNN report this story this morning. When they ran the tape and started talking about "wild pigs" they had film of a black police officer up on the screen for several seconds before moving to the actual "wild pigs".
