You raise a number of excellent points. One, in particular, struck me: the near-extinction of the grey wolf, the boar's natural predator. Those of us who have studied nature--ecology, especially--are aware that in successful systems, there are balances in and among the various players.

In the Northern Hemisphere, wolves have been apex predators for millions of years. Their family, social, and hunting structures have created balances throughout countless environments, but when they were hunted so ferociously by the "macho men" in Russia, Europe, and America, we upset the balance and have created many problems that devolved from their loss.

I, for one, would love to see the reintroduction of multiple packs of grey wolves in Italy, Austria, Germany, Czechia, Hungary, France, and Spain. Wolves are generally good hunters, and with natural enemies in abundance, the fear of lupine attacks on cattle, sheep, and humans can be largely put to rest.
