  1. Great video Greg! Yeah, this problem is replicated in lots of places around the world... I heard about the wild pig problem in the US, and have watched a few older docs on similar problems in other countries. The wild pig problem on first look also seems to have a simple and clear solution - let's just eat them! xD But it ends up in the same general obstacles... logistics, regulations, chain consequences and whatnot. And this all has to do how we do things. Before humanity was around, nature and evolution found it's way towards balanced eco systems over millions of years... but then we came and messed everything up. xD It's not always particularly malicious too, it's sometimes just a consequence of things we did to occupy spaces, cultivate enough food for us, or even protect ourselves like in cases of elimination of predators. We have lots of international news focused on African nations, but that's only because western developed nations see those countries as their personal safari grounds. It ends up in lots of cities, towns, villages and whatnot trapped between protecting themselves, protecting their agricultural lands and keeping things as is for tourism and for their international image. It's an extremely hard balance to achieve, I'm glad Japan is finding a way to balance things...
