Maize monoculture in ever-larger fields suits wild boar, erm, down to the ground. They have cover (deep within big fields that are two to three metres high at this time of year), they have water and mud, and they have all the food they can eat.

This is why there are more and more wild boar in maize-producing regions. Calling on the military is ridiculous. What they need to do is stop producing the conditions in which wild boar increase and multiply.

Just another unintended effect of maize monoculture.

Sounds like a job for... Obelix!

Other characteristics are his simplemindedness, his love and care for his dog Dogmatix, his anger when someone refers to him as being "fat", his enthusiasm for hunting and eating wild boars and beating up Romans.


Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

But, as pointed out by Helen, this is against EU law. Do you think his village will be able to hold out against them?
