pick up water,' vice mayor says

Feral hogs have long overwhelmed the city of Corona, California. The city's vice mayor thinks they have been around since as early as the 1930s.

"As long as I can remember pigs have always been an issue," Corona Vice Mayor Wes Speake told Insider.

The feral hog population in the city typically depends on the drought status at any given time. Periods of drought drive the 300-to-400-pound pigs into the urban wildlife interface, or where the wild area comes into contact with the city limits.

Speake attributes the current influx to a project commissioned by the Army Corps of Engineers that aims to raise water levels in dams that sit at the city's limits.

The construction is taking out the pigs' habitat and limiting what they can eat.

If humane methods could be used, it sounds like some excellent BBQ material.

2. Yeah, I wouldn't want to have to butcher them--

But I'd accept a gift of the pork shoulder for carnitas!
