the Javalina are a real nuisance. At least once a month someone in our neighborhood has a horror story about attacks on their dogs, or charging humans. I personally witnessed a herd of 14 - 16 adult and juvenile pigs chasing a neighbor one night last year. What a helpless feeling - nothing that I could have done against that many pigs with their hair bristling and snorting rage. Fortunately, The neighbor escaped into a gated yard and got away!
