America Has 6 Million Wild Hogs - But No One Dares Eat Them

I investigate why more than six million wild hogs roam across at least 35 states while so little of that meat reaches American tables. I follow the trail from a devastated Texas hay meadow to the processing bottleneck that makes eating these animals far more complicated than simply hunting them.
In this investigation, I examine:
• Why wild hogs cause an estimated $2.5 billion in agricultural damage each year
• What happens between a hog being taken in the field and meat reaching consumers
• Why Texas, home to roughly 2.6 million wild hogs, faces such a difficult processing challenge
• Whether America’s biggest feral-animal problem could also become a source of food
