I WAS taking my dogs for a walk over to the wood by Pillowell Recreation Ground. When I arrived there I looked around and faced my worst nightmare as three massive boar had come out of the wood and were in the middle of the ground in among my dogs.

I screamed and called by dogs to me. We were very lucky as the boar ran back into the wood. I was so scared that I went back home.

I'm surrounded by woods but I am afraid to go into any of them now. The boar have taken over, though this was the first time I have seen them at Pillowell Recreation Ground.

But they have arrived, as you can see by the mess on the side of the road from Whitecroft to Lydney where they have dug up the edges.

We must have a cull. The Forestry Commission could make some money by selling boar meat.

It's gone on for far too long now. Someone has to stop the boar. Please, round them up. The boar have taken over the Forest. It's no longer safe to walk in our woods.
