They have treated the forest as a place to let their dogs run wild, without giving a thought to ANY of the wildlife living in it.<br />I know that there are responsible dog walkers out there, but they are the minority and that is a fact.<br />For some reason, most think it is the place to go, to let your dog run free and wild, but it isn't.<br /><br />I love all animals and this includes dogs, but I never discriminate. I stick up for wild boar and snakes as well as domestic animals.<br />As you said, the boar was not at fault, neither was the dog.Rob Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909011703506732320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593565576776346728.post-46648083680483261052009-11-20T00:38:37.555+01:002009-11-20T00:38:37.555+01:00Well said Rob.

Dog owners need to realise they are sharing the forest with its wildlife, and act responsibly towards it. This incident wasn't the fault of the boar, or indeed the dog. The local press would do well to report this things less sensationally too - it's no wonder sometimes that people are fearful of the boar if they get their information from the press.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449970048549823985noreply@blogger.com
