That ranch/farm would be free of feral pigs in a few weeks.
They're a tough hunt (pigs are SMART!), but there are a lot of hunters who want the challenge.. they're just not gonna pay $500 a pig!

I'd just go to the butcher rather than spend $500 a pig, and have to clean and package it myself.

There is 1 introduced species that need s to go but everybody thinks it is so cute.
Wild horses overpopulate range land but everyone complains about cattle ranchers.

Just how big are the herds of wild horses where you live? The wild horses I'm familiar with run in relatively small herds (although there are multiple herds in the same general area) and with no human intervention thrive on land that would barely support a quarter of the number of cows as horses that are currently there.

but the collared asian dove which is noisy was put on the anyway you want to kill it list in Oregon'

It sounds like the collared asian dove made a nuisance of itself by being noisy and brought the ire of the local human populace down upon itself.
