So a priest in India got chased by a wild boar and he fell into a well. Does that make it OK for people to kill any wild boar they see because they're so "evil"? I know nothing about wild boars, but I don't recall that the guy in the original "Hogzilla" story was ever threatened by this animal. I was out running recently and was chased and barked at pretty viciously by a couple big dogs. Should I go out and kill every dog I see because of this? Heck, if your life is in danger, you do what you gotta do. But to kill for the hell of it is pretty ridiculous.

So should I go back and edit it to include [sarcasm] tags?

Here's a question for ya: Some domestic pigs get loose and go feral. These pigs have piglets. Are those piglets Wild or Second-Generation Feral? :D

Pretty much one in the same according to Dictionary.com:

feral

\Fe"ral\, a. [L. ferus. See Fierce.] (Bot. & Zo["o]l.) Wild; untamed; ferine; not domesticated; -- said of beasts, birds, and plants.

Wild pigs and domesticated pigs are completely different critters. Turning dom pigs out fend for themselves will make them wild but it won't make them wild pigs anymore than turning your kids loose will make them monkeys. ;)
