Alarmingly, officials in Sarasota County, Florida, approved a cruel plan that allows hunters to use dogs to hunt down feral hogs. The hogs will be chased, cornered, and mauled by packs of frenzied dogs and then knifed to death. This method of wildlife control is exceedingly cruel, especially when there are many less cruel alternatives available!
Please contact Sarasota County officials and urge them to overturn their decision. If killing is insisted upon, even the use of sharpshooters would be far less hideous.
