In Belgium this week an attempt to cull a fast-growing population of wild boar in northern forests met with distinctly unimpressive results after an organized cull by 200 hunters managed to kill 1 animal.

The hunt was organized on Monday, by local officials, near the town of Postel, where several road accidents have been attributed to wild boar attacking cars.
