Boar takes revenge on his attacker
On 20 September 2021, several members of an Italian hunting party were on a hunting excursion in the area of Castelletto d’Orba.
Hunting dogs drove the wild boar into an area where hobby hunters were stationed. Lazzaro Valle fired at the animal and wounded it. Instead of fleeing, the boar charged at the wildlife killer and knocked him off his feet several times, causing an injury to the femoral artery.
Another hunting accident in Turin
The man would not have been the first victim of the hunting season 2021/22, which alone in the past year has cost dozens of people their lives.
Just a few weeks ago, another dramatic accident occurred during a hunting excursion. A man, Valerio Celegato, died when he accidentally tripped over his rifle. According to the reconstruction of events, the hobby hunter was walking along a mountain path when he slipped on his own weapon.
