Sweet f’in Jesus, is that for sport? Like, guys go out with hounds and pitbulls so they can stab hogs? What did the guy with the knife do, sever it’s spinal column?
I’m totally willing to profess absolute ignorance to learn more about this.

nah, he stabbed it in the heart. It’s probably one of the most exciting sports out there IMO.
How is that exciting? You got 50 dogs on that hog, while your friend holds him up, at which point you casually walk up to the damn thing and stab it? Looks boring.

If it doesn’t seem interesting to you, don’t do it.
I’m not interested. Was just looking for you to justify your statement.

Ow God that looks familiar; mine won’t even open his eyes when I get home. Runs up and down the steps crying when he hears the wife and kids pull up though.
Great pic!

Sport? It might be exciting but it isn’t a sport.
Anyway, in Mexico they use pits as K9s. Just to give you an idea of their trainability. If they were mindless killers they would just be a liability.

Hunting dogs aren’t really pets…just tools.
I’ve been around a few great boxers. I would definitely own one.

I don’t see it as a sport but it is referred to as “Hunting”. Most people consider hunting a sport so I guess this is a distance cousin. They use two different dogs, a bay and a holder; bays run the pig down and the holders, typically Pitbulls come in to secure for the ku de grace.
Many southern states have a pig problem. We even have then up here in PA. This is a way to control a population explosion of a very invasive animal.
I have never partaken in these hunts but I am capable of speaking from both sides of the table on this issue. Truthfully I find it a blood lusting barbaric act.

Alternatively you can shoot them with a machine gun out of a helicopter.

Did they have to sling load you on blackhawk Bauber? LOL I’ve spent way too much time in small aircraft and the weight limit for most passengers is under 200lbs. For some it’s under 175.
Were you shooting out of a larger helicopter? R44 or something similar?

They’re also in some canine units here in the states. Pits can also be certified service/therapy dogs, generally without needing “extra” certification or insurance compared to other breeds.
And just because… this is the video that wouldn’t post yesterday. My pup’s first time experiencing snow a few weeks ago:
My goal for her is, by year’s end, to get certified and doing therapy work.
