I don't think a lot of people going to cry over some feral hogs that are running rampant all over Texas. FYI they cause a lot of damage not just to crops, private property, etc., but also wildlife. As the article says, they have no natural predators and are voracious. Notwithstanding the PETA rhetoric, our whole way of existence and civilization from the earliest days is predicated on claiming the "upper hand" over other animals. "It's survival of the fittest and we've got the f***ing gun." (bonus points for what movie that quote comes from)

BTW, in Texas there is no season on hogs if you're hunting on the ground, you only need a landowner's consent and maybe general hunting license, though not if they are in a state of "predation," which could be construed as "always."
