Pigs are not native to the Americas, they originated in southeast Asia and from there expanded their range through Eurasia and North Africa1. Humans are responsible for introducing pigs everywhere else. In what is now the United States, pigs were first introduced by Polynesian settlers on the Hawaiian Islands 800 - 1000 years ago. Domesticated pigs arrived on the mainland in the 16th century, brought by European explorers and settlers2.

In the dim, red glow of the immense warehouse, tall stacks of wooden boxes are lined up in seemingly endless rows. They will stand here in this dark chilly environment for the next couple of months until spring returns to California.
