PARKER, Pa.—A Pennsylvania farmer who runs a guided hunting preserve said Friday someone cut his fences around Jan. 1, causing a huge financial loss when dozens of deer and boars escaped.

Larry Lint said he could lose his business, The Pig Farm, over uninsured costs from the vandalism, which is under investigation.

The escaped animals can be a problem for wild deer and damage local habitat, so they are being tracked down, euthanized and tested.
