There was a big stink about this last year. I think the anti hunting groups latched onto this family because it was found out that the hunting ranch had bough the pig from a farmer and released it to go wild and be hunted. The article was kinda vague on the hunt details except that it took 3 hours for the pig to die. Was that the basis for the animal cruelity charges? I doubt the hunters or the game ranch shot the pig and sat down to have a picknic for 3 hours while it died. Most likely the pig ran off and had to be tracked down. The decision by the DNR not to investigate and let the statute of limitations run was correct, but in my opinion the author is clearly trying to slant the story to seem like the family and the DNR has done something wrong.
