‘Lonely’ boar goes on rampage, tries to ‘eat’ owner’s car

‘Lonely’ boar goes on rampage, tries to ‘eat’ owner’s car

A wild boar adopted by a Kamphaeng Phet resident four years ago went berserk on Monday (June 15), wrecking its owner’s car and “killing” everything else that came within its path.

Boonsong Phrompitak, 63, called on rescue volunteers at around 10.30am when his pet boar tried to attack him and “eat” his car. 

Meanwhile, the 10 volunteers who showed up to help, finally managed to grab the boar after 40 minutes of coaxing, though the animal squealed loud enough to scare the entire village. 
The owner said the animal had had such tantrums on several occasions before, but this time it had gone into “crazy mode” as it tried to “eat” his car.
The boar was later deposited at Wat Chetawanaram, where many wild boars have been given a home, and it quickly made friends, leaving people to wonder if his bad behaviour could be put down to loneliness.
