I have to say, it does bother me a bit. I don't think hog-dogging is a necessary or humane sport, and while I acknowledge the legitimacy of using dogs in hunting feral hogs, I do believe that it causes the hogs pain. I'm a fan of Dogos and Catahoulas, and I've seen the galleries of hunt pictures, and the videos. I have immense respect for the work they do, but I cannot ever believe that the hogs do not suffer.
I had thought of sending you a PM about it, but I'm glad now that I don't have to as it's available for open discussion.
