Feral swine are free-roaming pigs found on public or private land. There are between 2,000 and 5,000 of the destructive animals in Oregon (2012). To protect the environment, Oregon law:
- Requires land managers to report and remove feral swine from their property
- Prohibits the sale of feral swine hunts
