Points to note when you see a wild boar

2 Do not threaten or try to get rid of it.
It's dangerous to get excited. Leave the place so that you don't panic slowly and don't show your back.
4 Don't give food.
Many wild boar accidents occur with extreme excitement, such as forcibly trying to capture, hitting with sticks, throwing stones, and barking dogs. In particular, a wild boar that has once been excited has the property of relentlessly attacking people and dogs. Be careful not to approach it inadvertently.
