The anger in that Reddit post hit me right in the gut. Here’s someone trying to do the right thing - restoring native bushland for wildlife - only to watch it get torn apart night after night by feral pigs. What makes it worse is knowing that some of these destructive animals are out there because people deliberately released them so they’d have “something to hunt.”

The photo they shared of their chewed-up land tells the whole story. Hundreds of square metres of ground torn up, native grasses dying, topsoil washing away with the next rain. It’s heartbreaking to see decades of potential recovery work undone in a single night by animals that shouldn’t even be here.
