North Texas Food Webs



This is what a normal North Texas food web should look like, and did look like 60 years ago. Now, imagine how it would look when hogs were introduced. They would literally destroy all of the grass, taking away main food sources for rabbits, grasshoppers, and deer. The present version of the food web would probably look a little like this... (Below)

 60 years later, this food web will be destroyed if hogs come, forcing some animals to die and the rest to move on to other areas. The hogs are invasive and need to be stopped. Not to mention how they destroy land and crops, causing millions of dollars of damage, and can be harmful to humans and livestock by spreading diseases and even in some cases by charging and attacking them.
