And people say hogs have no natural predators...
Who says that? Mountain lions, coyotes, gators. Hell I bet bald eagles and large hawks have picked off a few piglets same with bobcats.
Lots of people. You can find it all over the internet, from state offices, to newspaper articles, to even posts on this forum. It is stupid, but lots of people say it. And, you forgot bears and wolves.

Feral hogs have plenty of natural predators in the US. Problem is, we kill off as many of them as we can. Our primary hog predator (other than humans) in Texas would be coyotes, but coyotes do only go after the little ones.
