New Campaign Encourages B.C. to ‘Squeal’ on Invasive Pigs

  • The Invasive Species Council of British Columbia launched the 'Squeal on Pigs' campaign in 2025 to encourage reporting feral pigs in the province.
  • Feral pigs are widespread across the U.S. and Canadian prairies, but in British Columbia, they remain relatively rare, leading to proactive measures aimed at preventing their expansion.
  • The campaign aims to raise awareness that feral pigs cause ecological damage, compete with native species, and could spread diseases like African swine fever.
  • The United States has an estimated 7 million feral pigs causing $2.5 billion in crop damage annually, while B.C. has over three dozen confirmed sightings but no established herds yet.
  • The council urges British Columbians to report sightings promptly to prevent invasive pigs from becoming established and to protect local ecosystems and agriculture.
