Picture of Wild Boar

Brief Description of  Wild Boar: Wild Boar sometimes called the Wart Hog. In the wild boar animal can be quite a pest to farmers and domestic animals. The wild boar will interbreed with the ordinary farm pigs, this then causes wide diseases  in the farmer's domestic farm animal Yet the wild boar is the ancestors of the domestic pig. It has been an annoying problem for governments because of the threat of wild boars spreading disease amongst domestic livestock. They are not sure how to go about eradicating all wild boar species. Such an act would extinct the wild  boar animals altogether, even though the animal had  become extinct both in the United Kingdom and Ireland in the 17^th century. Since then some have tried to re-introduced the wild boar by setting up boar farms through importation of the animals from Europe. There has been escapees from some of  these boar farms and as recently as 2007, population of wild boars exceeding over 200 has been found in Britain. Wild boar animals are classed as dangerous animals.
