Hog was subdued? I was looking for handcuffs. If they can't bring themselves to say killed, why can't they just say terminated or something cool like that.
I'm assuming, without clicking the link, that this is about the hog in Priceville and written by the state's "leading" news website.
The answer to your question is people at that site are liberals and have no idea about anything related to the outdoors, hunting, killing or anything of that sort.
