In the 1920s, Canadian millionaire George Gordon Moore turned his 20,000-acre Carmel Valley ranch into a lavish playground for the rich — complete with polo fields, a massive hacienda, and Russian wild boars imported for sport hunting. Those boars escaped, bred with local feral pigs, and created the aggressive hybrids now tearing up landscaping in South San Jose. This is the wild true story of how one man’s hunting fantasy became California’s lasting pig problem.
