That is sadly true 
I was born in the countryside and we had hens freely running in the yard and mom talked to them and feed them and then killed them in front of my eyes to boil themā¦and to me it was the most natural thing. We had rabbits too, and ate them as wellā¦ But that was something else, I do agree the current animal industry is such a shame!

Nooo Nicole,
I see them regularly on televisionā¦just last weekā¦and I think they are truly beautiful
They got the power and the looks 
(yes, I hear the songs 
)
I remember holidays on the Isle of Elba, we were in a holiday resort at the end of the season and every night a hord of boars went through the whole resort and left a trail of distruction. Scary.

@Silvia80 Wolves are perfectly fineā¦ and the wolveās own account of the story sounds intriguing. Wolverines thoughā¦ Thatās a different story.

So you are not alone

220 police officers, helicopters, drones and a tankā¦ hunting a wild boar in the end (at least, thatās the actual status), could be a template for a comedy film.
āThose Germansā arenāt bored at all, they are learning to play guitar (at least me). Iām chasing notes and chords .

I just could not believe how similar they look, its uncanny. Does this mean I actually saw a lion sprinting across a nearby field in Normandy, a few years ago and it wasnāt a Sanglier as I thought ? Its a funny old world.
I still get these mixed up, we have lots of hippos in France

One summer my husband and I were out in the woods at a high vantage point with binoculars just to see what we could see and a large badger with assorted little badgers walked across the trail 100 feet or so in front of us. Not quite a wolverine, but they are mean if cornered.

No such here luckily, but I heard that badgers can be a bit nasty.
We usually only have the occasional ābear spotted downtownā warning here, something like once per summer or so - and then itās in fact a bear and not a boar 
Still, Iād rather encounter a bear in the woods (as long as the bear doesnāt have cubs) than a wolverine

What do you think, would Silvia have a holiday job as head of the German police?
What surprises me the most is that they still say āmaybe notā here and in the east because Stevie Wonder can still say when he zooms in that itās not a lion and sees those piggies standing there
