“We’re already about 2,000 hogs ahead of where we were at the end of last year. We’re making good strides," said Scott Alls, director of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services.
The project is active in Cotton, Tillman, Harmon, Roger Mills, Beckham, Kay, Osage and Pawnee counties.
Alls said 15,000 pigs have been removed under the project, and changes will come with the next piece of legislation.
