• Officials issue warning after destructive creatures are spotted in US region: 'Sightings occurring' (thecooldown.com) — Feral hogs were recently spotted in Coppell, prompting increased police patrols and professional trappers to protect neighborhoods near the Elm Fork Trinity River. Officials say residents aren’t in immediate danger, but the invasive animals can damage property, harm local ecosystems, and spread diseases, so sightings should be reported to police, animal control, or the Squeal On Pigs program.
