Reminds me of the decision in Hollywood Park that decided to trap deer and ship them to Mexico. Had a few friends who approached and said they bowhunted, and would hep take care of the problwm. If hey would have agreed, I would be a bowhunter now.

A friend of my wife's actually went out one night and opened the trap.

I'm not sure about PETA specifically, but a lot of animal rights people are OK with hunting feral hogs as long as it is done humanely (they probably wouldn't like hunting them with dogs). They figure it's a problem created by humans, so we need to solve it.

Sorry. I thought PETA meant, "People eating tasty animals".

Solving it with our mastery of tools and technology, and use of opposible thumbs to grab the rifle and pull the trigger :fire

I really don't understand the trap and relocate idea with hogs. Harassing them with dogs might push them to your neighbor (my neighbor deserves it :smilelol5: ) but, a .223 or .308 is a much better solution wherever practical/safe, IMHO.

I can't watch the show any more... I find myself losing hair over it while yelling "ka-BANG" to my TV. "rlol"
