The Brief Residents say conditions have worsened: Homeowners report feral hogs have caused extensive damage to neighborhood lawns in recent months and fear the animals could spread disease or injure pets, children or elderly residents. Residents say all they've gotten from Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones' office is lip service. However, eight months have passed, and residents say the wild hog problem has gotten worse. In addition to the destruction, the feral hogs cause homeowners worry about them passing on diseases to family pets and even harming small children or the elderly. Needless to say, homeowners are frustrated and want to see more from their elected officials.
