Wild boar?

Boar wreaked Karmic Justice from the BBC report - father was a keen hunter apparently. We had lots of hogs in woods out back of our place in Ontario when I was a kid. No child ever got eaten I heard of. And if boar as well as deer the pumas shouldn't be bothering us too.

Whilst on holiday in Corsica some years ago I had wild boar in a restuarant. It gave me the worst indigestion I can ever remember!!!

I wouldn't be afraid of them, I've spent quite a while walking in rural France and have only seen boar twice at a distance, they run away! Carry a camera and make the best of an opportunity if you ever see one.

Reading the Mail article the wild boar might have really been hedgehogs!

There is lots advice online about how to respond if you meet this potentially dangerous animal. See britishwildboar.org.uk

The Forestry Commission advises:
--Dogs should be kept on a lead.
-- Do not feed them.
-- Do not approach them.
-- Walk away steadily.

Another reason to put up electric fencing around the allotment. Are they dangerous to humans?

Something new to look out for on local walks?
