Wild boar

Wild things The latest threat to rural tranquility, according to the Scottish Gamekeepers’ Association (your report, 8 September), are wild boar that kill lambs.

These, presumably, are of the winged variety that swoop down from trees and grasp them in sharpened trotters. Wild boar, beavers ... whatever next? The countryside is in danger of being overrun with wildlife. Before we know it, we’ll be having to cope with butterflies and songbirds again. Send for the exterminators.
