Pig Shot in Northeast North Dakota Turns Out to Be Domestic Escapee and Not Feral

Pig Shot in Northeast North Dakota Turns Out to Be Domestic Escapee and Not Feral


A pig that was shot and killed Thursday in Nelson County north of Tolna, North Dakota, after attempting to attack a farmer several times was an escaped domestic hog and not a feral pig as initially feared, a Game and Fish Department spokesman said.

The farmer “ended up shooting it to protect himself,” Bill Haase, assistant wildlife chief for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department in Bismarck, told the Herald on Friday afternoon.
