I had heard Boar had been spotted around Centre Parcs (Longleat) but even though I was walking in the forest daily while off work I didn't see any, as it is now news worthy I guess more and more have been spotted.

Stupid farmer says "They could take your finger off". So could my gate or any dog. He's a muppet.

Not Warminster! Heaven help those poor souls

What a stupid article. I didn't realise they'd spread that far at all though and I thought I was fairly up to date on my boar news.

Have spent a lot of time around them in the Forest of Dean and other than one mock charge, which we deserved, have never had any problems. If numbers get really high anywhere they do need managing as they're destructive and have no predators but I'd guess it'll be years before they're in that kind of density around there.
