Cop attacking wild boars euthanized after hunt

Animal rights groups have responded with a protest letter against a policy of euthanasia, pointing out that most visitors do not feed the boars and arguing resources should be directed toward stopping the human activity rather than blaming all the boars. Allowing the boars to be captured and killed “ignores their right to live and considers their existence in urban areas as a capital offense,” the letter read.

Headline is an editor’s nightmare.

It's one way to attract people to the story. Although most people will stop at the headline and comment on that.

Feral hogs are taking over Texas.

“Cop-attacking wild boars euthanized after hunt”

Hyphens mean things, even if you don’t think so yourself.

[MNJohnnie]

Nothing says you can’t do both. In the case of these particular boars, they’ve already been proven to be both dependent on handouts and aggressive. Putting them down humanely seems like a reasonable solution.

[loucon]

So you’re saying he only attacked the dead ones?

[Craftmore]

So whick pigs are being killed? Im confused,,,

[oldasrocks]

I can think of a lot of boring people that should be put down.

[packagingguy]

Maybe animal rights activists demanded it.

[Seruzawa]

Stupid headline aside, I say don’t kill the boars. Release them in PETA members’ homes.

[TomGuy]

Same here. On first read of that headline, I wondered what injury to cop received for him/her to be euthanized.

O for the days when journalism had editors.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

Dr. Ke”pork”ian.

[LeoTDB69]

Is it legal to euthanize cops now?

He should have known boar hunting was not in season.

[Larry Lucido]

Much safer that way.

Perhaps a terrible headline, but it got me to read the article.

[Darksheare]

The headline, Oof.
They euthanized the cop after hunting him down for attacking wild boars.
