A&E has a series called American Hoggers, where a family hunts feral pigs and hogs. I have only watched part of an episode or two so I can’t comment too much.

The family has dogs for finding and cornering the hogs and when captured, they are removed from the area. Although the family lives in Texas, many states allow the hunting of these animals.

It did not take PETA long to complain that the animals are not killed in a humane way. I will assume that PETA members have never had to chase feral pigs off their land. As the show states, they are vicous animals who kill animals and damage crops.

I don’t hunt now, have never hunted and am not a proponent of sport hunting. However, I have no problem with those who hunt, especially those out to thin populations of dangerous or problem animals.

I DO have a bit of first-hand experience with these hunters, even here in Hawaii. On the property next to iine is a pig trap. We have been plagued with wild pigs destroying our criops, knocking down fences and attacking animals. I have allowed these hunters on my land to chase pigs. I also admit to tring to run over these big fat things.

I expect to start gettingm calls from PETA next.
