My understanding..................again just the way I understand the laws.

You can not put a dog in a confinement with any other animal or dog where the two can not get away from each other with the intent of one or the other causing harm one or both. This is a very broad stroke of pen here, it leaves it up to law enforcement and peta to deciede what they think your entent was.
I also believe that bay pens are only allowed to be used where they are being used for field trials and nonprofit type groups.

Again this is the way I understand it.

Regardless of bay pen laws, there are new laws about containing hogs and transport. You have to be certified to contain wild hogs and meet state guidlines in how they are contained.

I will say that a letter from Peta means nothing since they are not a gov organization. Can they cause you problems, YES for sure. There is a case here in Kerr County that is still on going now after almost 2 yrs of useing a rodeo arena as a bay pen for personal use.
