The Humane Society of the United States today called on the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to investigate the highly publicized killing of a "monster pig." Earlier this month, an 11-year-old boy killed the pig after the animal was trapped and released in a fenced enclosure at the Lost Creek Plantation in Delta, Ala.
According to the Alabama Game and Fish Laws, it is unlawful to hunt or kill or offer the opportunity to hunt or kill for a fee under conditions in which the animal hunted does not have a reasonable opportunity to evade the hunter. The regulation includes animals released from confinement for less than 10 days. According to the website of Southeastern Trophy Hunter, the organizers of the hunt, the "monster pig" was trapped by the owner of the Lost Creek Plantation sometime around April 28 and was offered as a "no-kill, no-bill" guarantee for anyone willing to pay $1500 for the kill. The "monster pig" was killed on May 3 while confined in a fenced enclosure.
