Not necessarily. Wild boars living near human communities (feeding from crops, etc.) are not that wild anymore. Rather shy, retreating at humans approach and certainly not aggressive. The matter changes of course with boars in the wild woods taken by surprise, and especially with a sow and sucking pigs. They generally sense humans before them and run away but if confronted a boar would rather charge the perceived aggressor. Servus, Alin
