Nobody wants to discover two wild animals barging into their home and jumping onto their bed. However, this is exactly what happened to a family in India.
Two black wild boars broke into a home in a village in Kerala, a state in southern India, barged into the bedroom and began jumping on the bed. The incident, which happened last week, left residents terrified. The animals also reportedly destroyed the furniture in the room.
The family immediately locked the bedroom, ran out of the home and managed to escape unhurt.
A video of the break-in showed the two animals roaming around the bedroom before leaping onto the bed and then walking around the room for some more time.
After rushing out of the home, the family informed neighbors who in turn called the local police and the forest department.
The officers arrived at the scene with an intention to tranquilize the animals and release them back into the wild.
However, following protests from the villagers, who demanded a lasting solution to wild boar menace, the officers were forced to fatally shoot the animals.
"This is a frequent issue in our village. Earlier, two women were attacked by these wild boars. In Mohanan’s (home owner) case, he is lucky that he escaped with the family unscathed. But the residents here want the pigs to be killed or removed and are protesting for the same," a villager told media outlet The News Minute before the animals were killed by the officers.
Speaking about the culling of the animals, a source told the website, "Forest officials allow for culling of these animals, in case of human-animal conflicts where a wild boar menace has been reported in a human settlement."
The incident comes months after a wild boar was shot dead by forest officials in the same state.
The officials arrived at the scene after receiving information a group of wild boars was destroying crops.
The authorities fired at the herd from the backyard of a home, resulting in the death of a five-year-old female boar. The other animals escaped the scene. The dead boar was then buried following an autopsy.
True Story:
The Macon Bacon is a Georgia based wood-bat
collegiate summer baseball team that began playing
in the Coastal Plain League in 2018.
They have appeared in the league playoffs twice,
and finished as the runner-up after a
Championship appearance in their second season.
the boars heard about ‘My Pillow’ and was trying them out?
Yeppers only monkeys can jump on the bed...
I can usually eat anything, but I had to load it with a lot of ketchup to get it down.
They’re Indian. They think cattle are sacred. Wild hogs? Not so much. I bet the village would like to have a feast.
Kerala is in the south. Religiously diverse:
“Kerala has a reputation of being, communally, one of the most religiously diverse states in India. According to 2011 Census of India figures, 54.73% of Kerala’s population are Hindus, 26.56% are Muslims, 18.38% are Christians, and the remaining 0.33% follow other religions or have no religion.”
I think the mans name is Mohanah which may be a variation of Mohammad
Truffle hunting, perhaps?
They wanted to try out the Boil & Branch bedding.
Thank you for that!
Piggies breaking into a house?
Isn’t this tale backwards?
Is the owner a wolf?
Two little piggies jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more jumping on the bed!”
I thought it was the S.W.I.N.E.(Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything) from the old Al Capp Li’l; Abner comic strip.
I still get a thrill thinking about how an intimidated University sold out to the Mafia, then the rioting SWINE attacked the Mafia enforcer’s brass knuckles with their front teeth.
Can Indians (Red Dot) eat pork?
I know they claim to not eat beef.
Something to add to the list of oxymoron’s. Wild bore.
I actually thought it was two wild boars until the part that described them as jumping on the bed. Then I flashed back to the clinton crime spree when boars susan sarandon and markie post were seen jumping on the Lincoln Bed in the WH overnight they bought.
“...then smoke it.” Zig Zag doesn’t make a roller quite big enough.
