Wild Zwijn

Last century the wild boar in the Netherlands found itself on the verge of extinction. Man, however, obsessed from the outset with the desire to control nature, brought it back. Refreshed, the rapidly expanding boar population came crashing out of the dark woods. A sneaky invasion of villages and urban peripheries commenced, causing untold paranoia and panic among the people. We've got to eat them up, before they overrun us! This elegantly composed, quirkily humorous account of man's conflict with these overbred creatures demonstrates that nature doesn't always follow the path civilisation confidently marks out for it.
