I like that we are re-introducing European bison and boars but both will kill a human. Wolves avoid humans but boars do not.

As I replied to an original post by Chris McCartney, having a sustainable harvest of these wild creatures and encouraging the public to dine on them will not just keep their numbers at manageable levels, but will, also, turn them into an economic asset. That will build up support for their presence. Hunters will profit as will the butchers who sell the hunters' harvest. Another important aspect of this is for people to be educated in the proper preparation of venison and other wild meats. Anyone who has eaten game knows that it can be, well, gamey. Soaking in brines and marinades such as milk, buttermilk and vinegar is ofttimes essential. Then many of these meats do well when cooked with strong spices and flavourings from wine to chili to curry and so on. Properly approached, these limited rewilding projects could be quite successful. The reality is that the British public is never going to tolerate packs of wolves' roaming all over the island, as well as bears' walking down their High Streets, so hunters will be the predators who keep the ecology in balance in most regions.

This is excellent, glad we are welcoming them back.

Great video! These guys are really important to our natural world, arguably more than bison!

Superb video! Very well presented, informative and balanced. You asked for feedback:- 1st, We must always remind people that the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world's. We have eradicated all our top predators centuries ago. We continue to attack our wildlife in the form of badgers, beaver etc etc. Our land owners as a whole are totally intolerant of wildlife. It is so pleasing to witness a growing exception to this, in estates led by Knepp Estate. 2nd when people complain about wildlife, such as wild boar uprooted gardens defending their young against dogs, or in the case of beavers, doing what they naturally do, make dams and diverting streams. Ask ourselves what it is like to have a herd of elephants in your garden destroying your crops as in Africa or India. Just imagine what is it like living on the edge of a tiger park in India. Tigers not only take your domestic buffalo and cattle by do on occasions actually eat people, as I learnt from our naturalist guide on our recent trip to that country. We in Britain need to be more tolerant and recognise we are all richer having wildlife in our world. 3rd Ask yourself who is producing the greatest destruction to our world? Not wildlife, yes it is humans who are responsible for destroying the forests at an alarming rate, polluting the planet, using up earth natural resources. On the bright side of this, there is a growing band of humans who are fighting for the world's wildlife, such as your selves in your small way. My wife and I never give money to human charities. Even BBC programs that are about wildlife do not support wildlife with their fund raising campaigns. Sadly the lot of wildlife on this planet is not recognised by the vast majority.

I love wild boar

We'll have to see how this goes moving forward, in Germany and other European countries the Boar population needs to be reduced/hunted periodically because when it grows to very large numbers they do substantial damage to crops, etc, and on a small island like the UK that will be an issue too. In spring when they have babies they get extremely protective and aggressive if unwanted guests of any kind get too close, kids exploring the woods around this time of year should take care and know not to get too close or risk being attacked and seriously injured, Boars have tusks/teeth and know how to use them to maim you. I think this kind of rewilding initiatives are good within reason, but people need to understand that Boar populations can get out of control and may well need to be kept in check eventually, and I just hope there aren't any unfortunate injuries along the way 🤷‍♂️

In some areas the population of the British wild boar needs to be controlled. That means a hunting season and a closed season. At present there is no closed season and boar can be shot at any time, thus putting pregant females and those with young at risk. We might not like it, but controlled hunting will give them better protection than they have at present.

🇬🇧 needs it’s wild life back and support this

I think maybe there were always wild boars in England but they were just very elusive and rarely seen so people believed they were extinct and they're just becoming braver and people blame it on releasing.

Espectacular 🤝

Of course, the rewilding of Britain is a great concept. We will make mistakes and have a lot to learn. There are reasons why some animals were hunted to extinction. Reintroduction may not be a good idea in all places but recreating a balanced eco-system is an admirable ambition. However, this must be well considered without bias one way or another. It is true that 72% of Britain is agricultural, employs only 1.5% of the workforce and only 0.5% of its GDP, so theoretically could be rewilded to a greater degree. However, there are geopolitical concerns around feeding the nation together with transportation and importation costs and impacts on modern life that are realities to be factored in. With goodwill, rewilding can be achieved - with a little patience! Love to everyone who cares.

The positive and upbeat sentiment of this video seems very much at odds with reality. If you were to read up about the estimated numbers of wild boar in the Forest of Dean over the last few years, you will see that, far from steadily rising, the numbers have been declining steadily, since a cull started a few years ago. Down to only about 90 odd left I believe. A few years ago, it was easy to spot them but not anymore. It certainly isn't rewilding and was never claimed to be such. Neither is it a sign of us becoming more respectful, tolerant or understanding of the world we share with all its various beautiful occupants. It's more just humans doing what we always do, reasserting ourselves as the undisputable champions of nature and everything. These dirty pigs, make a mess and look a bit scary to boot!

Yes, Wild Boars in limited & controlled numbers may be beneficial to the modern British environmental in certain areas & ways, for instance in larger woodland or heathland/moorland areas but not in prime agricultural areas where there is strong stable or commercial growing crops in development! As all farmers & growers know well that ‘Sounders of wild pigs’ can uproot & destroy vast amounts (in money & produce terms!) of their commercial crops & livelihoods, examples of such prevail in the United States, Australia or New Zealand where such damage has occurred on a vast scale due to the absence or diminishing of known predator species that would control such vitally important ecological damage to the food production environment in those places by limiting, destructive wild/feral pig numbers & that would otherwise naturally control boars & hogs numbers there! Controlled hunting, targeted entrapment & relocation elsewhere of certain populations, &/or officially sanctioned culls to control the numbers there which would need also to be repeated in the UK 🇬🇧 & probably in Ireland too!

The issue is that "population management" Is unethicall, immoral, inneficient and incompetent. And just a way of saying We allow ONE population to exist but only with few individuals, no matter the benefit to the ecosystem or the genetic diversity. There's 1-2 millions of boar in France. And it's fine, And they say it's overpopulation when it's clearly not when we compare to historical natural population densities. If we let farmer choose, nature would be dead with nothing remaining. Boar may destroy some crops. But farmer destroy forest, rivers, soil, and release potent chemical all over the ground and water destroying hundreds of species in the process. Just for profit. It may look better than a giant open mine in the rainforest but it's not better than that. If we listen to hunters and farmers. Hermine, stoat, otter, seal and wild cat would be extinct. Beaver, marten, eagle and other raptors would never have been reintroduced. And badger deer and foxes would've been critically endangered and nearly wiped out of UK. Also even if we reintroduce 200-600 boar it would take decades for them to reach a problematic noumber. So yeah we can do more than just 1-2 isolated and small population when EVERY COUNTRIES deal with hundreds of thousands of them each with not really much issue. And let me remind that in Australia, Usa and New zealand. It's Hunters and farmers who are to blame for wild pigs and boar population that they introduced. Here's it's a native specie and a Keystone specie and an iconic one and part of the culture.

Are you going to control the population when numbers get out of hand and wild boar are not only a nuisance but a danger. Most "likers" have got a clue about the long term implications of so called rewilding!!

Only problem is, they don’t have any natural predators. They need to die somehow.

I think i would probably be over the moon if a group of wild boar trekked through my garden and i got to witness that first hand

You do not want wild boar in the U. K. Just look at the damage they do where they are in the U. S.

Boars are native animals to the UK, much of what they done benefits our ecosystem and makes nature thrive, in the US they aren’t naturally supposed to be there so the affects are worse, though I do agree Boar can cause problems for some towns or dogs the benefits they cause our landscape is better than the US.

Bringing back many animals to the Uk seems good but does that include people I wonder .

In the UK they are feral pigs, wild boar domestic pig crosses not true Boar These feral pigs will spread like wild fire munching their way through anything that comes under their nose. On a positive note they taste amazing and are extremely difficult to hunt which will be exciting to participate in.

I’d love to hunt hogs here, just like native deer such as Chinese water deer they could be a fantastic source of locally produced sustainable meats whilst finding conservation and local economies.

How about Rhino and Tigers, it is because of creeps like you, that so many animals have become extinct.

@@DaSpineLessFish Chinese water deer are the lowest population and range of any of the 6 species of deer wild in the uk. The resource is already tapped. There simply isn't the demand for large amounts of venison amongst the uk public.

@@markhammond9453 If so pick another species, it would be good if the demand was higher and replaced more expensive and less ecologically sounds methods of getting food such as importing vast amounts of soy products for example. Sustainable local production is the best

You guys are probably going to regret this in a few years.

Poor video, no info on where else the boar are present, we all know they are in the F of D.

Thank you for the feedback. Thanks for watching :-)

I wonder if our ancestors breathed a sigh of relief when they were gone. Looks to me like another unresearched problem looming from the loonies.

Boars were sacred animals in Celtic and Saxon lands, our ancestors were probably sad when they were gone.

Maybe the country set can hunt 🐗 boar instead of foxes.

@Carl L At least you can eat boar,altho it's debatable wether it's a good idea.

Anyone who thinks this is good is utterly mad. We have these in Sweden and they are a major problem, here we have some predators but still far too many. They breed like crazy, are very difficult to Hunt unlike deer and moose, plus they are incredibly dangerous hunting dogs need special collars to stop the boar killing them. Add o this they eat ground dwelling nesting birds, eggs etc. If you have these near you they will overnight turn a football field into a ploughed field. I have seen these dead on a motorway one was at least 6 foot long and probably weighed 200 kg, they are enormous. Fencing off your garden is not good, you need an electric fence. This video is utterly stupid.

If you reintroduce them you are mad. They are the worst pest.

Jaguars are native to the Southern US from Texas to New Mexico and California and they properly became wiped out in the North in the 1960s.
