>> My brother was down in Southern France a couple of weeks ago when someone shot and wounded a boar near his campsite. The wounded boar came careering into the campsite charging at people and he pulled hamstring fending it off. He was not happy.

LOL. This allows a punchline for my very old UT joke. The "Captain Cooker" in my sig, is a wily wild pig in NZ, originally introduced by "The" Captain Cook and subsequently forming most of the wild pig population in NZ's plentiful subtropical forest. Some of them are fearfully smart especially in their own terrain where they prepare routes and dissuasions for hunters and their dogs. In my foolish youth I had to leap up trees more than once to escape their tender attentions. And yes, you don't want to wound one unless you're prepared to climb that tree!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
