Spiegel: Boar Kills Hunter Near Berlin

QUOTE
The boar war, which has been quietly raging in Germany for months, has claimed its first human victim. Late Wednesday evening in a village not far from Berlin, an enraged and hungry wild boar attacked a hunter, who then bled to death ...

On the one hand, I have to say that it is sort of a poetic justice. However, I used to work in Dreilinden (an industrial area near Berlin) and sometimes would walk from the Wannsee station to work. Boars are roaming there - these animals are huge and scary. Ouch.

The hunter was an old fart. If your gonna take on a wild boar at least be prepared to run for your life and know what plan b is just in case you miss or just clip the boar (gonna be one pissed off boar). I went along a few times with the neighbor hunting and dragged his kill out for him since he was to old to walk(!). He at least wasn't stupid to take on boar's just stuck to rabbit's and deer.

Bumped into one whilst out on the bike out by Müggelsee. Not funny.

Seems like Germany's wild animals are stepping up their revenge campaign.

Regularly saw them around Zehlendorf around dusk in the summer, on occasion whole families at the side of the main roads.
They get into the local gardens destroying them in the search for food - nobody seems to know what can be done about them,
it's not as if you can go out and chase them...
