Feral hogs have multiplied and become a menace, uprooting gardens FLOWER BEDS, LAWNS IN THE SOUTH, It IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY MUST BE SHOT. I SUPPOSE THE MEAT IS USED FOR DOG FOOD OR SOMETHING. DEER ON THE OTHER HAND DO OVER POPULATE IN IDEAL locations and CIRCUMSTANCES FOR THEM. STILL ... THEY (sorry for the caps, a mistake,) here in Texas, and the drought we are having, deer are too weak to feed their fawns. SAD!
God gives life. Man can not. We can care for it, protect it, shelter it, but we can not give life. To kill for sport is something I do not understand really. Fortunately most will eat the deer they kill. If overpopulated it is needed to thin them a bit. Kill the older weaker ones and spare the strong and young. When the light dies in their eyes, it is a loss we seem to care little about.
Life is precious, and we will do well to consider whether or not it is a good idea to take life for no reason rather than sport.

When I was young we went jack rabbit shooting. From the start it was something I did not want to do. Even a turtle in the road, I want to stop and move. In fact I now have a dozen or so turtles in the back yard, all found in the street.
Guess that makes me strange.
I would kill a charging bear, wolf, etc. otherwise I think about their life comes from God.
All forms of life want to live. Just as we do. It is how God created all living things..
Yes, I eat meat, chicken, fish.
