Art Eatman is right. "Animal rights" got its start in England.
Theres a local couple who raise irrigated organic veggies. They thought it was darling when a small sounder of hogs showed up on their place. Told them what hogs would do but lady claimed the "little pigs are so cute; who would want to harm them"? Then the hogs tore into the tomatoes and sweet corn. One morning i got a frantic call to "help with these hogs". They stipulated the hogs must be "relocated". We took the live hogs out of the traps, loaded them into the toter, hauled them off, shot and field dressed same.
Every year we set traps on that place, catch 10-15 wild hogs and "relocate" them.
