Siberian tigers are proficient predators of wild boars:

>>A single tiger can systematically destroy an entire sounder by preying on its members one by one, before moving on to another sounder.
Siberian tigers are endangered due to poachers seeking to meet the demand for tiger body parts in traditional Chinese medicine, and could be well protected by Canadian conservation authorities on Canadian soil far from China.
A population could be transplanted to Canada and allowed to proliferate, to act as a natural wild pig limiter.
- MagicMoonlight 4y agoI mean I absolutely want tigers to be set loose in the countryside but I feel like that’s going to then end in people shooting tigers out of helicopters with a machine gun. If people are willing to move on from the idea that we have to try and keep animals exactly where they were and preserve habitats (that we then wipe out) then we could probably save species like that. Tigers would do great in a nice forest full of pigs.
- giardini 4y agoNIMBY. Tiger meat is too tough, not tasty enough and there aren't enough recipes for preparation. I credit this to a scarcity of tiger hunts. Step 1 in every recipe ("kill the tiger") is always a bitch! I'd much prefer being overrun with feral pigs than feral tigers. Bacon!8-))
