PETA is going to be all over this one. The Duggars of 19 Kids & Counting seem to be making a lot of work for the animal rights organization over the last couple weeks. First, Derick Dillard posted a video where he almost caused danger to a cat while he was sledding downhill with his family, and now the gang is causing some harm to animals during their latest vacation down to Texas. In a new picture the family posted to their Facebook page, six of the sons went out on a wild hog-hunting trip together and they stopped to take a picture with one of the animals they killed.

"Dad and the boys had an exciting hog hunting trip together. John shot this one from 100 yards away! Good dad time for the boys!" the caption read on the two images.

It seems the Facebook comments are pretty divided over the issue. While some are taking the animal rights route, others are supporting the family for hunting the species.

One user wrote, "Surprised that a Christian family would kill an animal for fun. They sure don't practice what they preach," while another wrote, "What I don't understand is the need to be so proud of killing an animal, and posing with its dead body."

But the opposition took the approach that wild hogs are a danger to North America's native animals, like black bears.

"Wild hogs are a danger and are hurting our native animals. Hunt them all!!" one user wrote, while another stated, "Way to go John! For the anti hunting people, these hogs are very mean and a menace. They have to be thinned out, they reproduce too fast."

This is the second social media post the family has uploaded about hurting animals in the last three weeks, as Derick took to his Instagram account to post the video of him almost intentionally colliding into a cat on his sled.
