Saskatchewan imposes moratorium on new wild boar farms due to rising feral swine populations.

Saskatchewan has implemented a moratorium on new wild boar farms due to rising feral swine populations, which threaten native species, crops, and livestock. Existing farms will need licensing and regular inspections to manage potential escapes and disease outbreaks. Feral swine populations have grown at a 9% annual rate, adapting to colder climates and breeding throughout the year.
