I concede that feral pigs and feral dogs can be much more dangerous than their unaltered natural counterparts boars and wolves. Here is a video from one of my trail cameras of a Japanese boar mama and her babies. I have never met any females with babies in the woods. I have only met male boars that were by themselves. I always announce my presence by repeating a little chant while I walk. It lets the animals know I’m coming and that I’m not trying to hunt them. If they don’t want me to see them, they have plenty of time to get away. If an animal runs into me, I don’t want the animal to be surprised. That’s the worst possible meeting. spectra.video/w/n8XJxxYPK9pJqBcjAuQxQV

It is a small, almost maneless, yellowish-brown subspecies[4] with distinctive white whiskers extending from the corners of the mouth to the cheeks.[2]
That is not what we have here.
We have these

Feral pigs can be dangerous to people, particularly when the pigs travel in herds with their young, and should be avoided when possible. Feral pigs living in the United States have been known to attack without provocation and fatally injure human beings.

Again, Japanese boars are much much smaller than the boar we have here. Think game of thrones dangerous. They get to 400-600lbs and they’re practically solid muscle and have pretty much no natural predators, the ones in Japan are tiny compared to the ones here in the usa and parts of South America.

“Without provocation”? We’ve fucked them over so much they probably think they’re defending themselves.
