"Poison pilled" on Hexbear

"https://www.fieldandstream.com/conservation/researchers-develop-poison-bait-feral-pigs/ *According to Louisiana’s Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the state’s feral hog population is estimated at 700,000. Due to feral hogs’ high reproductive rates, 70 to 75 percent of the population must be killed to control the population. Louisiana reports that the hunter harvest is less than half of that objective, meaning populations are growing. Feral hogs are found in all 64 Louisiana parishes. Trapping and hunting, including day and night shooting by private landowners, plus aerial gunning by nuisance wildlife-control specialists, are used.*"

What is the correct vegan way to handle these sorts of overpopulation problems that we've created--other than "complete societal overhaul"/"return to monke"/"we shouldn't have caused this shit to happen in the first place"?

    Not putting a bunch of poison into the environment would be a good start. A lot of endangered predators are already being fucked by farmers poisoning rats and mice.

      for sure. I just don't have a good answer for what the right thing to do is. which is why I'm curious what my comrades think.
