Public outcry saved Rillette, the wild boar

estrepublicain.fr (French)

A wild boar named Rillette was saved from being euthanized after a public outcry and legal battle. The Aube prefecture ordered the boar's slaughter, but a media campaign led by a local stable manager and a TV host gained widespread support. A court later overturned the order, allowing Rillette to stay. The owner must keep Rillette in a secure enclosure, preventing contact with other wild boars. This case is unusual, as keeping wild animals is illegal and carries heavy fines.
