An “American Idol” contestant is being dragged around for posting an old video of herself hunting. In the meantime, he apparently fed several dogs to the helpless pig.
Will Mosley — Currently a finalist in the top eight of the 'AI' season, he hasn't abandoned his hunting days in Georgia. It seems that he and his family often go to the forest to hunt. A little game.
his father, Todd MosleyThere are tons of photos of the two posing with a dead boar. They proudly displayed it. After some digging, it appears that hog hunting like this is legal in Georgia. There are certain restrictions, including permits, times of year, etc.
Still, people are up in arms over a clip from a few years ago that is shocking to some. The video in question was posted in early 2022 with Will's caption: “Good people swimming in January.” He is posing with his father and girlfriend. Riley.
Three of them are seen laughing over the carcass of a pig, which appears to be the same one that was attacked in the video. This pig carcass that Will also posted… is downright cruel. The animal can be seen cornered in a wilderness stream by a pack of dogs, along with Will and his companions. Continue the attack.
Like we said… even if this is perfectly legal in Georgia, there's still a lot of outrage.
People are flooding Will's IG comments on this post, criticizing him for what they perceive as animal abuse, and many are criticizing his 'Idol' activities, which are going pretty well at the moment.
Considering how far he's come on competition shows, it's safe to say he's a fan favorite by now.
But this video featuring dogs and pigs is difficult to watch. It makes some people look sideways at Will and his family. We reached out to Will and 'Idol'… no response.

Where designated, dogs may be used to hunt feral hogs. There are no restrictions on their use except on public lands. .”
