Hogs gone wild

[returntosender]

There is a show on quest called hogs gone wild. They take their dogs and hunt them and trap them, The dogs get injured and sometimes the hunters. They say it isn't sport but why put their dogs through the possibility of getting hurt or injured? It is not humane. Better to kill them then the damage they do with this sport.
What I would like to know is here there are places where the wild boars are protected. It's against the law to harm them in anyway so they run wild getting in trash and running amuck in the streets while endangering pets. I don't get it, why are they endangered when they are a danger to the public? Then they wonder why there is an over population.

Doesn't make sense; does it.

Reminds me of the show a few years ago on Discovery; I think; where they showed the killing and harvesting of Alligators in the South East.

They were hunted to almost extinction back in the early 20th century.

Historically, unregulated hunting has led to dramatic decreases in alligator populations. In 1973 the American alligator was listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

Since then species' recovery, and increasing human deaths; alligator hunting programs have been re-established in the majority of U.S. States in the south-east.
