It's the way they do it so let them get on with it. Although the pig appeared to die fairly quickly once they've caught up with it i'm just not a fan of hunting with dogs because of the stress caused before the kill. Advertising/making videos of this sort of hunting doesn't do anyone any favours IMHO

Apart from give the 'anti brigades' some free propaganda ammunition and more financial contributions!

Fairly common way of hunting feral pigs in Australia - two to four dogs (with body armour!) to bail up the pig and then the pig is killed with a knife.

Option 2
Dogs control the pig to enable the hunter to grasp and restrain the pig so that a single knife stick to the heart can dispatch it. (See diagram a below for knife placement). Knife must be of good quality with a steel blade with a minimum blade length of 170mm.
To ensure that the welfare of the pig is considered at all times, training in these procedures is essential to ensure the procedure is efficient and effective.
