One might think there'd be a kinder way to do this but, as Melhuish explains, there isn't. Poison baiting or trapping carries the risk of killing native animals, and "dogging" - hunting with pig dogs - is cruel.

"The dogs maul the pigs alive," says Melhuish. "It's a little bit inhumane for me. The best way is to get a clean shot and put the pig down fast."
