Oh absolutely, this is a serious problem for some! I’ve read enough boar attack stories to know they are a legitimate threat. Cougar and wolf attacks are more common in my area, albeit rare overall. But all three animals are all very different than dogs, cats and pigs. Common ancestors sure, but absolutely very different today.

Of course every human has the right to defend themslevss from animal attack. That’s just a very different equation than buying bacon at the super market while ignoring the suffering of a pig that never left it’s factory farm.
