hunting season here. we're talking about licensed trappers controlled environment and protecting the property and the safety of our residents. >> reporter: the council voted to make an exception to its ban on firing guns within city limits and says that, yes, trapped pigs can be shot. you still need a depp pri days per miss from the station to trap and euthanize them but the vote means trappers have another option besides using lethal drugs or transporting an angry 300 pounds wild boar and killing them somewhere else. what do you say to people who say this is pretty drastic? >> it's a drastic problem. it is a drastic tool but it is just one tool. nobody has to use it. >> reporter: for two months, dry conditions have forced as many as 40 pigs down from the surrounding hills where they tear up lawns in search of grubs. the pigs caused $10,000 in damage at the almaden golf and country club. the club tried putting up a fence and hired a licensed trapper and said that if tonight's vote didn't pass, the problem would have gotten much

worse. >> just really would have progressed to the fact that we would have been overwhelmed with the pigs. we're surrounded by homes and there was no way we can fence up the whole golf course. it's impossible. >> reporter: kiet do, kpix 5. >> those trappers will only be able to shoot the captured pigs until february 5. that should give them a little more time to come up with a better long term plan. 4:41. coming up, a helicopter tour turns deadly in orange county. how a man plunged hundreds of feet into the ocean. >> they make it look like ordinary house pets. but these felines are something much more exotic. more on these hybrid pets coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
