If you offerered to pay for all my flights over the ditch, I still wouldn't agree with eradication.I used to work in Berlin. There were all sorts of boar related incidents. Boar is the largest threat to biodiversity in this country. They need to be eradicated now before it's too late. They are the one sporting species I'd rather fly over the channel to hunt.

methinks established is already a reality.Eradication is the only answer. Once they are established, you've lost the fight. This was certainly the view of the guys I met over there.
View attachment 1204 And a bigger more functional brain than some dog walkers!I think what finnbear says is right. You have boar to stay in England now and like i have written in other boar posts , you ain't seen nothing yet.
Why have these idiot dog walker not got there dogs under control or if they can't control them walk them on a lead. That greyhound will just be one of many dogs to get chopped by boar. Sows are just as dangerous as boar. Its amazing how fast the boar move when on the attack. They have made the Kopov tuck his tail between his legs and beat a hasty retreat on more than one accasion but he's soon back up behind them again.

What's this crap in the article about boar apparently disembowelling cattle in fields near Ross-on-Wye and 'stories' of them killing cattle?? And they put this in print.. What a load of crap
Lead. Simple answer. I once saw a women attack a chap who told her that it was private land, and if she didnt take the dog and herself of the land he would shoot the dog. I think he shot the dog in the end.

Well the owner should have kept the dog on its lead and not been ignorant to the local wildlife in our countryside. As far as boar being back in the UK goes I'm really excited about having them.

From what I can remember, there was an incident of a boar and cow getting a bit closer than they both intended and the cow got, I won`t say gored, but she did get "marked".
This was a few yrs ago now and since then the story has got bigger and better as it`s been retold.
I dunno if this is same story thats going around now Wayne?
As for eradication? I think that idea maybe a bit too late now
