, introduced by Napa-area State Sen. Bill Dodd, would allow an owner or tenant in possession of a $15"wild pig validation" to kill any feral pig destroying property or"injuring, molesting, pursuing, worrying, or killing" livestock. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife already allows year-round pig hunting with a hunting license or tag, but the bill seeks to eliminate the need for depredation permits.
