What are Hoover Hogs?

Hoover Hogs is a term that originated during the Great Depression in the United States, referring to a nickname for jackrabbits. As food became scarce, people resorted to hunting these animals for sustenance, often humorously associating them with then-President Herbert Hoover, whom many blamed for the economic crisis. The term reflects the desperation of the era and the lengths to which people went to find food.
