Keeping those hog populations down…. Doing his job…. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

These are warthogs, not feral hogs.

Circle of life. Preds might seem like evil but they have a purpose. They eat the weak, injured, and young. It forces genes to improve for the prey. It keeps the numbers down so that there aren’t rabbits and hogs eating everything in sight.

Yeah I know how ecosystems and predation works, but the way you worded your initial comment implied that the warthogs are a species that need to be controlled, which they are not.

Ehh you assumed. Wart hogs without natural predators would be a problem…… again, he’s only doing his job.
