Gould added that animal control mostly concentrates on domestic animals, like dogs and cats. His employees are not trained to track wild animals. For now, there is not much they can do. Also, their equipment is not designed to capture a 200 pound hog.

Unfortunately, stopping the problem will not be an easy task. Animal control officials said if it was cats and dogs, they might be able to do something, but a herd of feral hogs will be more difficult.

Officials with the state departments of Natural Resources and Agriculture want hunters to kill feral swine because the large animals, which can grow to 400 pounds, are carriers of disease. Wild pigs also wreak havoc on agricultural crops, displace native animals and damage wildlife habitat.

Dr. Steven Halstead, Michigans state veterinarian, said wild pigs are common carriers of pseudorabies, which can cause sudden death in cats and dogs and sicken cattle and sheep. The virus does not cause illness in humans.
