Since the 2014 outbreak of the African Swine Fever in Poland, wild boars have been culled en masse for the protection of the pork industry. This chapter investigates discourses on purity and sterility mobilised for the sake of biosecurity to explore how the interstice between domestication and wildness informs porcine-human relations. We analyse the porous intraspecies boundary between pigs and wild boars from queer and feminist materialist perspectives as the source of insecurities in the face of the disease to show how control over porcine sex in factory farming and wildlife management is key for the politics of purity at stake.
