The locals and the park service knew nothing about it until after they had legal approval in hand.

A major tributary of the Buffalo River is spittin' distance from this massive hog farm. It's sheer idiocy, justified by the promise of filthy lucre.

We're fighting it. I hope we can stop them before they bring in almost as many hogs as there are humans in this dirt-poor county.
