Letter: In Brief

Sir: Your report on the problems associated with wild boar loose in England (13 February) raises the question why our gallant fox-hunters, so bent on freeing the country from vermin, do not swarm to exterminate this beast. Is it because the wild boar, a sharp-tusked creature of up to 400 pounds weight, can fight back?
