The governments of Canada and Manitoba have allocated $2.6 million to Manitoba Pork’s ‘Squeal on Pigs’ campaign, aiming to control the wild pig population within the province. This program encourages Manitobans to report wild pig sightings, providing tools for identification and reporting. Wild pigs pose threats to human and animal health, as well as causing damage to agricultural resources. The campaign emphasizes the importance of not hunting wild pigs independently, as it can disperse their populations.
