A wild boar who was adopted by a French horse breeder his allowed to stay with her owner, a court has ruled, after threats by authorities to separate the pair and even euthanise the animal sparked a storm of international protest.
Found as a tiny piglet near garbage bins outside the horse farm of Elodie Cappe in Chaource, central France, in April 2023, “Rillette” has now grown into a large sow with a bristly brown coat who runs around between the horses and dogs on the farm and loves to cuddle with her owners.
