You stated:
The Indiana Code states an individual may not kill a domestic animal, including pigs, without permission of the owner. The statute states it is a defense to a prosecution under this section that the accused person reasonably believes the conduct was necessary to prevent injury to the accused person or another person, protect the property of the accused person from destruction or substantial damage, or prevent a seriously injured vertebrate animal from prolonged suffering. I have posted the Indiana Code below.
IC 35-46-3-12 Torture or mutilation of a vertebrate animal; killing a domestic animal
If a hog is free ranging and on your property, and has no visible ear tag, and no one locally is raising hogs, how would ownership be proven, or the owner be contacted?
