Wild Boars Shot Dead After Breaking Into Home, Leaping Onto Bed [Video]

Nobody wants to discover two wild animals barging into their home and jumping onto their bed. However, this is exactly what happened to a family in India.

Two black wild boars broke into a home in a village in Kerala, a state in southern India, barged into the bedroom and began jumping on the bed. The incident, which happened last week, left residents terrified. The animals also reportedly destroyed the furniture in the room.

The family immediately locked the bedroom, ran out of the home and managed to escape unhurt.

A video of the break-in showed the two animals roaming around the bedroom before leaping onto the bed and then walking around the room for some more time.

After rushing out of the home, the family informed neighbors who in turn called the local police and the forest department.

The officers arrived at the scene with an intention to tranquilize the animals and release them back into the wild.

However, following protests from the villagers, who demanded a lasting solution to wild boar menace, the officers were forced to fatally shoot the animals.

"This is a frequent issue in our village. Earlier, two women were attacked by these wild boars. In Mohanan’s (home owner) case, he is lucky that he escaped with the family unscathed. But the residents here want the pigs to be killed or removed and are protesting for the same," a villager told media outlet The News Minute before the animals were killed by the officers.

Speaking about the culling of the animals, a source told the website, "Forest officials allow for culling of these animals, in case of human-animal conflicts where a wild boar menace has been reported in a human settlement."

The incident comes months after a wild boar was shot dead by forest officials in the same state.

The officials arrived at the scene after receiving information a group of wild boars was destroying crops.

The authorities fired at the herd from the backyard of a home, resulting in the death of a five-year-old female boar. The other animals escaped the scene. The dead boar was then buried following an autopsy.
