Abstract
This 8-minute documentary presents an overview of the problem of feral swine (Sus scrofa) in North America. Feral swine are quickly becoming the second-most pervasive species of wildlife after white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginanus), according to this short documentary. A Pickup Load of Pigs: The Feral Swine Pandemic, produced by Mississippi State University Extension Services, can be viewed on the Internet () under “A Pickup Load of Pigs.” A dvd version of the video is available for $5 on-line at .

A Pickup Load of Pigs: The Feral Swine Pandemic is informative and entertaining. This video is an eye-opener for the general public, as well as land managers. I encourage you to view it.
