Regardless of who's "fault" it is, is the animal that has to be controlled, while the silly beggars who effectively "killed" them sit at home and think how good they were doing it in the first place. Ive seen Mink with kittens in their mouths.

This is what happens when "do-gooders" release captive animals into the wild, they destroy them in effect. Likewise the wild Boar we are now culling.
