Mr Slater声称，曾经有一次他和一头雌性野猪结成了朋友，它愿意允许他留下来拍照。
He said her behaviour and acceptance of him proves the boars do not need to be feared because they are not a threat to well-meaning people.
他说这头母猪的行为和对他的接受也证实了我们不需要害怕野猪，因为他们对饱含好意的人类是没有任何威胁的。
He said: ‘While I was with this suckling female I felt we had a real psychic connection.’
他说：“当我和这头正在哺乳的野猪待在一起时，我感觉到我们有一种真正意义上的心灵沟通。”
‘I got as close as three metres away with my wide angle lens, but she always gave me the look to say please keep away when she needed to.
我用我的广角镜头靠近它们在3米左右，但它也总是会看着我表示它需要我离它远点。
’It goes to show that even with her young this boar was no threat to me or my well-behaved dogs because I was no threat to her. If people respect them then there is not a problem.’
这也显示了即使是和它的幼崽在一起，野猪对我或者我表现善意的小狗都是没有威胁的，而我对她也是没有威胁的。如果人们尊重它们，就没有任何问题了。
