~~Question: I live in Kaneohe and am having difficulty with wild pigs coming up from the stream into my yard and destroying the hillside. I've counted 17 of them. The Hawaiian Humane Society referred me to the state Division of Forestry and Wildlife, but all I get is an answering machine. No one has called back. What can I do?
Answer: If someone had called you back, you would have been referred to the Oahu Pig Hunting Association, which would have dispatched licensed public hunters to track down the feral pigs — at no cost to you or the state.
