Who would've thought that breeding pigs to both reproduce and grow to maturity faster could lead to a massive invasive species issue that has seemingly no solution?
Maybe we shouldn't be breeding animals to eat - but that's just me.

- dgb23 4y agoThe pigs we breed stem from basically a single species that already had the properties of very fast reproduction and very flexible diet. They were already like that, which is why we breed them. Other species have been tried without success. During the middle ages, our domesticated pigs were basically feral pigs that lived on farms and in towns, even in cities, as a bio garbage disposal. There are a lot of fun facts you can dig up there. The these pigs in America are imported, yes but they became wild again very fast and are basically the same species as before domestication.
