Rome overrun by trash-loving wild boars
[NYPOST] When in Rome... watch out for the wild boars.The famed Italian city is struggling to contain a four-legged invading force of trash-loving wild boars, which wander out of nearby parks to find food, according to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

The beasts, which are found in groups of 10 to 30, can weigh up to 220 pounds each.

"I am afraid of walking on the sidewalk, because on one side there are the dumpsters for the rubbish and they (the boars) jump on me," Grazia, 79, said of the animals.

The cheeky boars know no shame, and have even trotted through restaurant owner Pino Consolati’s outdoor seating area.

"We have been invaded here," he said. "It is not a pleasant situation."

#3 "Trash-loving wild boars" is not a very kind way to describe Chinese tourists and North African immigrants gimmegrants.
