Only comment I do not like is the gut shot comment, everything should be taken as humanly as possible.

Hogs are not native "game" and due to the destruction they cause, make them suffer, all of them.
"[T]he changing environment will someday be totally and irrevocably unsuitable for the wild turkey.  Unless mankind precedes the birds in extinction, we probably will not be hunting turkeys for too much longer."  Ken Morgan, "Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game

Shoot every pig you can. They're invasive, destructive, and disrupt every other species they encounter.

I have no problem with it, just like wolves they have gotten to be to many and need to be thinned out. My question about the foodbank came as somebody that has been homeless before and can see much gain to be had by donation. It is why I donate as well.
Living in California, there are some strict rules about donating food and especially wild game...  Most place will not accept such donations unless food has been FDA approved... 

As you your comments on ethical killing...  I am in full agreement.  I don't know what an animal feels when it is in pain...  But I know they don't like it, and I know I do not want to be the cause of unnecessary pain.

I am hunting purely for recreation...  I do not have animals causing damage to my crops or business; so when I take an animal, I make a concerted effort to do so humanely.   
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

It is a pity about the food banks being so strict, I honestly believe it is more of a not wanting hunters to be paved in a good light than anything else, most butchers will volunteer their time for things like this and check the meat anyway.

I once shot the front of the I guess you can say stout or face of a woodchuck off with my .243 at 200 yards, my friends thought I was nuts for taking a finishing shot in it, just did not seem right to me to let it suffer.

This information is very old and laws/ roles may have changed but years ago, when I was a deputy sheriff, I was sent on a call and it turned out the group had a deprivation permit to kill pigs in their orchard.  Once the pigs were killed they were to be transported to the butcher and the meat was to go to the jail. It was 2:00 AM and I can not remember if the original call was for shots fired or something else. This was in Northern California.

You do need a tag to harvest wild pigs in California but I have no idea of their game status.
