Hummmmm,

I didn't see the show, so I might change my mind...but

It is common to refer to all feral pigs as "boars" or "russian boars" regardless of sex. And even if he was hiding the sex (and I can't imagine why), I don't really see the big crime. Maybe I am missing something, but what is the big deal about that.

On the second point of shooting one with very small piglets. If I thought the littles would suffer and die, I think it would be wrong...but if they are big enough to survive on their own, I see no problem with it.

Joey is right that when these guys make TV shows, they take a little artistic licence. You should know that going in. It is not a documentary or a news program, it is just entertainment. That being said, if you don't like it...by all means don't watch him.

Ethics are a personal choice, it is a very slippery slope when we start trying to judge the morals of others. I don't live in a glass house, but I do have windows...so I might occasionally throw rocks, but I am very very careful about it.
