I have quite a few hogs visiting my feeders, some have been either sprayed with paint, or daubed with a brush. Since you have no idea if this is of benefit to the animal , then why do it? Would you paint your own pet? These are wild creatures, and just because they visit your garden you do not have the right to treat them in this way. I have contacted all my neighbours to try and trace whoever is doing this, but so far without luck. Everyone I have shown the pictures to agreed that the practice was cruel and unnecessary. If it continues, I intend to contact the RSPCA.
