They could have set Sophia loose in the forest, they would have found her that way. Although I guess that would mean she got killed, and Hershel didn't want that.... Hm ok it seems to make sense.

I did feel bad for Hershel, seeing his wife get killed because he showed some people hospitality. I do think that he had the right to do with walkers as he pleased, as long as it was on his own farm.
Funny how Shane was whining about the security, but it still took him a tool and a lot of effort to get it open from the outside.
