The government of Manitoba is trying to get ahead of the province's wild pig problem before it gets any worse. That's why they started the website squealonpigsmb.org for people to learn the signs of an infestation, and report any sightings.

According to Dr. Wayne Lees is the Coordinator of the Manitoba Invasive Swine Eradication Project and former Chief Veterinary Officer of Manitoba, they're already seeing daily reports of sightings.

It's beginning to paint a picture for us of where these wild pigs are, and it's really an encouragement to be able to understand where their ranges are.

Wild pigs reproduce extremely fast and can spread disease, and destroy crops and pastures.
