I guess you must like pigs. To me they aren't anything special. Not endangered or protected. If there were that many range pigs where I live, I'd be hunting all the time. They sure root up and destroy the land. I vote to go on a safari in Australia for piggies.
@longykid I've seen a few videos of guys with pet boars that they raised from piglets, but the critters weren't full grown, so there's no tellin what they might turn into. Sorta like raisin any wild animal from infancy. It is what it is and it just might turn on ya someday.
Actually, the wild boar is not a native to American soil. It was brought over by Spanish traders for the purposes of food and hunting for sport.
They are a menace not only to humans, but entire ecosystems. For instance, they destroy native plants that many animals rely upon for food. They also destroy water plants which keep water clean and the soil from eroding. In short, they are an environmental convenience, but we can thank ourselves for their current presence...at least in America.
No wild boar on earth will just attack someone withtout good reason. As with all animals an injured or cornered boar will attack, as would a sow whilst leading young. Its incorrect to tout boars as a menace. In Germany we control their numbers because of disease potential and lack of predators, not because of any kind of menace!
Animals do not 'reason' as humans do. This goes for boars as well. Boars attack people often and are capable of killing people. You may be right in regards to Germany, but I doubt the severity of each problem is the same and thus would be dealt with in the same way.
Boars do not attack people often, a boar will go out of its way to avoid people if at all possible. No animal deliberately seeks out humans to attack them, none! If an animal feels threated or is injured then, yes, it will attack.
Wild boar are not a menace. I hunt them here in Germany, but we do not label them a menace. The do a lot of good here in the forest, eating harmful insect larvae and mice, helping to keep their numbers under control. By-the-way no animal can destroy an ecosystem, they can change it, but not destroy it - that's our speciality!
While I appreciate what you mean, an ecosystem employs the prospect of balance and while a boar cannot destroy an entire ecosystem by itself, it can destroy enough beneficial organisms in an ecosystem to promote ecological decay; especially in non-native environments which haven't learned to sustain their feeding and hunting habits.
And again, while wild boar may not be a menace in Germany, I am not speaking of boar activity in Germany, but specifically in regards to the US.
The same claims are made about Elephants in Africa, that they destroy ecosystems, the truth, is however, that they change them via their browse behaviour. You sound as though you know your stuff, so you should know that that is the nature of the beast, so to speak. The cycles of nature - checks and balances are built into ecoystems, and yes, the vegetation might change for good, but the system is not destroyed.
The forests here in Germany are not as big as the vast forested areas you have in the States, that said, however, we have a much higher and more intense use of forested areas, which means, higher possibilites of conflict with boars. This is not the case. The pressure of hunting and visitor numbers has led to them changing their behaviour and becoming nocturnal animals - only straying from cover in the dark.

I think you can trap them and raise them in some states.

It is the height of human arrogance to call another animal a "menace" simply because we find its behaviour an inconvenience.
We have encroached on their habitat - it's not their fault!

Not to mention that they've been known to attack people in the woods. Especially children (here in Louisiana, anyway)

@Schirmschlag37 I agree with you. they even avoid you they sense you. the same goes to other wild animals

Well, I can't refute that. It was wrong of me to generalize. But there have been people, especially kids, where I live attacked by wild boars
s13ge 4 years ago
did they kill any children? I certainly hope not. What were kids doing over there anyway?
kiddo500 3 years ago
There's a lot of woodland where I live and kids like to play in the woods. No kids have been killed, to my knowledge.

Those things are a menace. Their cool, but a menace. For example, they destroy crops by rooting them up! I can't wait to get ohe though!
