Re: Feral pigs
DIY mostly. The south african butcher here in my town will do game processing but I get the idea it’s sort of under the radar. He also mentioned he doesn’t like the smell of the game meat curing in his shop.
But for the most part, just like washing our cars and mowing our lawns, it’s all done at home.
If my neighbours knew I had a deer hanging from a block and tackle in my garage and bleeding into a bucket they’d probably have a fit :-)Sent electronically, thus not signed.

Re: Feral pigs
Chops in curry, onions, vinegar and sugar are great

Re: Feral pigs
If tag a pig here, we are obligated to have it tested for Trichinosis and more recently for African Swine flu. The state pays for the test, and also for the disposal of an infected carcass.
For own consumption you can get away with not doing the test, but no game dealer is going to accept a pig carcass without an all clear from the state vet.
Interestingly enough, same applies for badgers, as they are considered edible here.
