A fox raided my bins the other day. Should I report that to the police?

Amarillo said:It astounds me that these articles by supposedly quality sources such as the BBC and the Times talk about these wild boar as if they are isolated exotic escapes. Boar have been escaping for decades and have established viable populations in the wild. They are also a native species. Reading these articles anyone would think a rhino was on the loose.

Isn't it about time the Government and the media stopped the hysteria, and accepted that we now have a wild boar population? Put up signs warning people to keep dogs under control, and educate people about this wonderful re-addition to our native fauna.
PS Farnboro John: Where do you go to see them?

Denis said:I believe one problem is that they have no legal status in Britain so agencies like the FC don't know what to do with them. A reponse from DEFRA is well overdue!
