If you are a rancher and there is a canine or a bunch of canines after your cattle, do you have time to determine their ancestry before shooting them?
Same thing around here. Feral hogs cause great damage. It is open season on them year around. If Babe gets loose from her pen, does the farmer who's crop she is eating need to check her status before shooting?
