The problem with the tale is that all pigs root. If it actually was possible to corral wild pigs, one of the smartest and wariest of wild animals, they would dig their way out in no time flat.

Yes it does happen,...and pigs are trapped all the time.

You really don't have a clue about feral hogs, the are trapped/sold/slaughtered every day.

Hogs are just like liberals,...they love to eat for free,...and will sacrifice their freedom to do so.
