A young wild boar stands in the grass with a herd of heifers in May 2007 in a field at Lohuec, France. It was no bull in a china shop, but a wild boar rampaged through a clothes shop in western France on Saturday before being felled by bullets, police said. (AFP/File/Fred Tanneau)
Ok, I was gonna ask where is aL Gore today?
Two remain on the loose in their “usual habitat”
AlGore?
That’ll feed a lot of muslims down at the soup kitchen.
What a crashing boar.
No doubt an advance party of reindeer in disguise ~ and the French shot ‘em.
The Boar’s Head in hand bear I,
Bedecked with sage and rosemary!
The problem is that domestic swine have crossed with them to give our faithful allies the cochangliers or the pig half-breed. Instead of the family planning of the true wild boar with a couple-few piglets, these suckers have 10-12 to a litter just like a domestic pig. They are overrunning many areas causing massive environmental damage and can wipe out a farmer's vegetable crop overnight..
They hunt them pretty heavily but just can't seem to keep the problem manageable. They are also pretty good eating and can get pretty large. So far the French government has not entered into surrender negotiations with them, but there are beaucoup des collaborateurs who think they are cute and leave food about for them!
Ha ! I knew one day my hometown would make headlines at Freerepublic ! :D
The boar was scared by a hunting party which had been organized to bag a few of the boars that abound in the woods surrounding Poitiers. This rather small boar decided to run the other way, and probably thought it had found itself a nice little place to hide.
We get a lot of boar- and roe deer-related incidents in these parts. Even the large hunt aficionados have trouble keeping both populations in check.
