A Texas man in a wheelchair defended himself from a charging feral hog using an airsoft gun. Carl White, a Houston resident, was alerted by his dog, Moose, as the hog approached him aggressively earlier this month. White used an LED light on his airsoft gun to startle the hog, causing it to turn away. He then fired several pellets, successfully deterring the animal, which is known for its sharp tusks. Residents in the area have reported multiple feral hog sightings, citing damage to property and threats to pets. Texas officials have noted that the state faces significant issues with feral hog populations.
