pig traps

There was one thing different at our wedding site. I noticed this huge cage and signs (above) and worried that perhaps a dangerous mountain lion was on the loose. We saw similar cages in other parts of the park (below). Turns out that the wild pig problem in Monterey County - which has long been a problem - has reached epic proportions, wreaking havoc on parks and agriculture. It's a sad situation with no good solution since the pigs, who never asked to be brought to California, are breeding exponentially.
