This is old news and the Michigan DNR hsa released statements concerning this. Russian boars and their hybrids are a serious problem when they go feral and they are highly prone to do so. Some farms raise these as hunting game on private lands. The heritage breeds are not targeted and that is very specifically stated by the DNR. There was a protracted discussion of this and this particular farm on Facebook a few months ago. The ACLU has stayed out of the fray because they determined that the farm knew going into business of the restrictions and chose to ignore them.
