But quickly removes it after backlash from other netizens that said that his actions will only get the animals killed.
Here is one of the harshest comments
The man pets the piglets of a large family, the adult boars did not bother him. Lucky for the man as he could have been seriously injured as wild boars are considered aggressive and territorial animals.

What does the National Parks(N Parks) have to say about piglets
What to do when I encounter wild boars?
- Be calm and move slowly away from the animal. Do not approach or attempt to feed the animal.
- Keep a safe distance and do not corner or provoke the animal i.e. by using a flash while taking pictures of it.
- If you see adults with young piglets, leave them alone. These are potentially more dangerous because they may attempt to defend their young.
