Hog Out Month is an annual celebration dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of feral hogs, observed every October. This event encourages communities to come together to learn about the issues caused by feral hogs, which can damage crops, spread diseases, and threaten livestock and humans. Activities during this month include hosting hog roast feasts, organizing pig-themed scavenger hunts, and attending local pig festivals. Participants are encouraged to support sustainable farming by purchasing pork from local, humane farms. Additionally, Hog Out Month promotes effective population control methods for feral hogs, such as trapping and hunting, to mitigate their destructive impact. The celebration also supports pig sanctuaries and encourages community involvement in hog management education.
