It wasn't Christopher Columbus. Maybe it was Hernando de Soto on his expedition from 1539-42 to what is today southeast USA. This expedition carried a huge number of pigs with it. Driven in herds. It is handed down that the natives liked the meat. But I doubt that those pigs are the only ancestors of the present wild boars in the USA. Because during the following centuries have been a lot of opportunities for pigs to escape into the wild.
I can't wait for the pigs to expand into wolf territory. So many opportunities for research and possibly a new wolf domestication event.
Why isn't someone getting smart and start making this food available to all…donate them to food pantries…sell in stores…etc?
I get it, Indonesia people call it “ Babi Rusa “ but he foreign people can’t pronounce right, so just call it like they heard it, “ Babi Rusa = Barbarossa “
The pigs really didn't get really bad here until they imported some Russian boars that get 3 times the size, love the cold and are very very angry and aggressive, and when they mix with our pigs they get twice as aggressive and 3 times the size hence you get hogzillas. They are weird hybrids that breed and grow uncontrollably
