I can understand the porcupine but wild boar breed well and are tasty.

In fact they are a plague in the US.

They are down as of 'least concern' in the IUCN classification.

W/A takes a military approach. Not a shred of luxury in their life or their organisation. hard core.
Best $$ efficiency, best wildlife knowledge.
Their protected areas have had the bloodiest struggles against all encroachers - including against the big boys, in fact they are the only conservation group that does this on the front line.
The boss is fearless. They always challenge. They don't give flying flock.
