A wild boar has been shot dead at a school after it became aggressive while children were being dropped off at the gates.

The adult male, which had entered the primary's fenced off conservation area, began stomping its feet and charging after a Forestry Commission ranger was called to assess the situation.

Staff at Ruardean Church of England school, Glos, said that the alarmed children, aged four to 11, were taken inside before the animal was put down

The head teacher of the primary, said: "No child was present when the animal was destroyed and we will be holding a special assembly this afternoon to explain to all the children what happened.

It sounds like at least they looked after the kids feelings, an aggressive boar could have done some serious damage.

Yeah, that was a potentially dangerous situation for the kids, glad they diddn't have to see the animal being put down. Good news is they'll be extra bacon for everybody at breakfast for the rest of the week.

Reminds me of that scene from Napoleon Dynamite where the farmer is putting down a cow in the field as the schoolbus drives by.

Excatly!!

you have a very warped mind..LOL

Glad the kids didn,t get hurt, and that they are going to explain to the kids and answer questions that i,m sure they will have plenty of!

Oh YES I DO!!! It makes life better that way
