Woman Attacked by Wild Boar While Walking Dog

Irma van Aeken (65) suffered serious injuries after being attacked by a wild boar while walking her dog in Meerhout, Belgium. The attack resulted in a broken sternum, deep cuts on her legs and back, and bruises all over her body.

Details of the Incident

Irma, along with her dog Bieke, encountered the wild boar during their walk in a forested area. Despite attempting to protect herself by throwing sand and curling into a ball, the boar relentlessly attacked her, causing significant harm.

Rare Encounter with a Wild Boar

Experts note that wild boar attacks are extremely rare, with the animals typically opting to flee when disturbed. However, as populations increase in residential areas, human encounters with wild boars have become more common.

Managing Wild Boar Populations

Efforts are being made to control wild boar populations to prevent future confrontations. Strategies include increasing hunting quotas and utilizing advanced equipment like night vision goggles and silencers.

Expert Recommendations

Experts advise giving wild boars space to flee, making noise to deter an attack, and being cautious when walking dogs in areas where boars are present.
