NSW:RSPCA condemns feral pig hunting trial
The NSW branch of the RSPCA is trying to muster public support for its call to halt
the use of dogs to hunt feral pigs in the state's forests.
The national animal welfare group's campaign comes after the Game Council of NSW placed
an invitation on its website for expressions of interest from "suitable hunters" to take
part in a trial .. using pig dogs to hunt feral pigs.
The trial would take place in the Nundle, Hanging Rock and Tomalla state forests in
the New England area .. with applications due by 5pm tomorrow.
RSPCA NSW says using dogs to hunt feral pigs is a barbaric form of recreational hunting.
The RSPCA is now urging members of the public to contact their local political representatives
.. including NSW Premier BARRY O'FARRELL .. to voice their disgust.
