Lawsuit puts Ohio hog hunting bill on hold

A new Ohio law that would ban the importation and hunting of feral swine and end the practice of garbage feeding has been put on hold as a lawsuit by an Adams County hunting preserve works its way through the courts.
Passed overwhelmingly by the state legislature last fall and signed into law by Gov. DeWine just before Christmas, the law is labeled House Bill 503. It was championed by the 2,500-member Ohio Pork Council as a remedy to serious disease risks to the state’s domestic swine herd.
