When I would volunteer weekly at the local night shelter and "soup" kitchens, it was amazing how many otherwise healthy people came thru the lines, you can tell by their mannerisms, actions and how quickly they disappeared afterwards. Met a street preacher who took me on a tour of the little homeless settlement near downtown Fort Worth to meet the ones who wouldn't show up and were in desperate need of some care. I met numerous individuals who were exactly as you described and in need of the care and shelter. I also saw about 2-3 out of 10 that would avoid us, he said they were lazy, they see no reason to work when they get fed for free. He would point them out and try to approach them and they'd scatter like rats when you flip on the milk house lights.
I am not saying that everyone of them is lazy, it's just sad that otherwise healthy individuals have no desire to have anything other than a place to sleep and a meal.
This isn't the place for this discussion.
I will also say, I kill about 2-3 a week from about Thanksgiving until sometime in the spring, once everything starts to head out and the soft shoots pop up thru the crust. They move back down into the bottoms, then I shoot 5-6 a month. It's easy to say donate them, it's an entirely different animal to make it happen. Trapping is one method, but that is a completely different rabbit hole. I have trapped 1000s of them with simple figure 6 traps and a little corn.
I built this trap on Sept 1st and had pigs in the next morning, I have since moved it and it will get pigs in it weekly.
That trap was literally 30yds from my porch
