Hogs are wreaking havoc on well manicured lawns, etc.

Beat me to it.That would be racist in California.
. Too bad folks have to hire a licensed trapper and get a depredation permit just to trap & relocate them. I'd bet the local government will soon start a trapping program after enough damage gets done and city hall gets enough irate residents contacting them.
Why don't they have Animal Control take care of it..?Hogs are wreaking havoc on well manicured lawns, etc.

14 years ago we had a bear in the woods right next door to me. He was raiding bird feeders at a neighbors place diagonally across the road from me. Dept. of Environmental Conservation guys set up what I called a "giant Havahart trap" for him in the back yard among the feeders. Basically a big cage on a two axle trailer. Don't know what they used for bait but they got him and relocated him far away. I'd bet the animal control folks in Cal. could utilize something like that if they don't wish to kill them.
Well take em.....thats a long boat ride tho.....But should 'wish to kill them'. The reason they have them is because there are too many of them. There is no large mammal that is a more prolific breeder. Getting rid of them is the only answer. NOT relocating them so they can continue to multiply.
..... I'm in complete agreement with that; although it's hard to convince a lot of the animal control folks. They seem content to just shift the problem to another area that they aren't responsible for. The nuisance bear we had went south from right by the shore of Lake Ontario down to the NY- Pennsylvania border where there's a lot of state and federal land. Hogs would be a different story; I'd almost bet that they could get euthanized ( as the conservation guys say) due to their breeding rates and provable damage to crops and private property. Although in California the animal rights groups may not like that.But should 'wish to kill them'. The reason they have them is because there are too many of them.

Not really sure why but the populations don't seem to explode out here like they do on the mainland.
Let PETA line up in front of the hogs.Homeowners says the hogs were digging holes "with their tusks". City folk.........!
If they try to do anything about the hogs....the PETA people will protest in front of their home. Gov't will probably find a way to TAX you for having hogs or subsidize the hogs (they do everything else it seems).

Oh!! You meant giving coloring books to the pigs, I was going to agree with giving coloring books to the bleeding hearts in California. That may be meaningfull for them.Welcome to the club. Maybe they can get them to draw with crayons and stop tearing up turf…. Maybe offer them money???
The title of the linked article very clearly says “The city of San Ramon”."California City Has A Wild Hog Problem"
California City???
Ain't no hogs or manicured lawns in California City!!! Fire ants and sand... Yes
A California city 35 miles east of the San Francisco Bay... possibility.
