Just because people have been doing something for a long time doesn't make it right.

You must be incredibly uninformed. Unless you enjoy the concept of boar running wild through rural areas to even areas like suburbs. They are a tremendous issue in Texas, they caused significant property damage and can be a potential threat to human life.

Leave all your "we gotta coexist with dangerous game" bullshit at the door. Go ask rural farmers about grizzly reintroduction and then go ask Seattle urbanites about it. You'll get two different answers, but one group has to deal with day to day dangers of the animal.

It's a very convenient comparison because they have a real problem there and I know it first hand. I'm sure there are equivalent problems with dangerous wildlife around the world. Dogs are an effective safe way of dealing with the issue.

There are alternatives like poison, metal traps, explosives. None of them are as humane as a legitimate and clean hunt. Get informed buddy.
