More than 100 wild boar are no longer wreaking havoc on Alberta farms and in nearby communities thanks to the province’s Wild Boar Control Program.
Professional trappers in Alberta removed 108 wild boar, an update from the Alberta government says.
“In 2025 we received 72 reports through Squeal on Pigs!: 11 confirmed wild boar or wild boar hybrids, 32 escaped domestic pigs, 10 non-swine, and 19 we were unable to verify. All the confirmed wild boar reports are in known areas where response activities are already underway,” Hannah Mckenzie, a wild boar specialist with the Alberta government, said in the update.
