 Hakuna matata my arse! Dude is very fortunate to have survived, but couldn’t they instead have released Waylon the warthog to wander his native habitat in the savannas where he belonged.💔Exotic and endangered species are not trophy pets to be imprisoned in stockholm syndrome, hunted, bred and auctioned, conditioned on treats and anesthetized on psychotropics similar to those atrocious tiger king sties!

Animals don't possess human cognition, higher order connection and communication. I bet Waylon was instinctually protecting the nest of a pregnant mate. It doesn't seem like the whole picture is being presented here either.
