A growing concern in the United States, Europe and elsewhere in the world, wild boars are a known menace on farms and other agricultural installations.
They cause untold damage, and have resulted in the collapse of a local ecosystems. They eat a ton, root up all kinds of plants, reproduce quickly and have basically no natural predators.
Most containment and control efforts have turned out to be either only holding actions, or are simply losing against the porcine menace. These nasty creatures definitely look the part, but are they dangerous to people?
Wild boars have become such a massive problem that many states and countries actually fund hunting expeditions for the purposes of eradication.
This naturally incentivizes many people to get closer to these animals, or at least close enough, for encounters to happen and that’s when things tend to go wrong.
