<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Le Sanglier, animal symbolique et mythologique Une relation ambig\u00fce s’est tiss\u00e9e depuis la nuit des temps entre lui et l’Homme. Chass\u00e9 depuis la pr\u00e9histoire, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 ha\u00ef autant qu’ador\u00e9 pour les m\u00eames raisons: sa puissance, son intelligence et son courage devant un adversaire. Peu repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 dans les peintures rupestres, il figure toutefois \u00e0 Altamira; C’est au N\u00e9olithique que la souche du porc domestique appara\u00eet avec la domestication d’individus moins sauvages.<\/p>\n
The Wildboar is highly symbolic and mythological. Its relationship to Man is ambiguous, it was hated as much as it was worshiped for the same reasons: its power, its intelligence and its courage confronted to an adversary.
\nIt was little represented in rock art but it figures in Altamira’s famous cave. The pork’s strain appears at the neolithic period with animals less wild.<\/p>\n
Dans l’antiquit\u00e9 romaine, germano-gauloise et gallo-romaine, sa chasse semble avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 particuli\u00e8rement valoris\u00e9e. L’animal \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme courageux et fort, se battant jusqu’au bout. Le chasser devient un combat singulier entre le guerrier et le sanglier; le vaincre est alors un exploit. Ces qualit\u00e9s sont aussi reconnues chez les Romains comme chez les Germains, qui semblent avoir fait de la chasse au sanglier un rituel initiatique indispensable du jeune guerrier pour devenir libre et adulte.C’est un animal tr\u00e8s propre appr\u00e9ciant volontiers les bains et peu affect\u00e9 par les parasites qui s’accrochent mal \u00e0 sa peau coriace comme les tiques et les puces ou autres acariens accablant plus facilement les autres mammif\u00e8res. Sa nature tr\u00e8s robuste lui permet de r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer rapidement de blessures m\u00eame graves comme une patte cass\u00e9e et d’\u00eatre rarement malade. Une seule de ses maladies est \u00e0 redouter pour l’homme, c’est la “Peste porcine”.Sa crini\u00e8re est faite de soies atteignant 12 \u00e0 15 cm en hiver, elles ont longtemps servi \u00e0 faire des brosses \u00e0 dents par exemple.<\/p>\n In the Roman antiquity, its hunt was highly praised. It was an animal considered as strong and courageous, fighting to death. To vanquish it was then was an exploit. Sus scrofa Artiodactyla – Suidae In the South-West of France where I live, Wildboars reach rarely over 120 kg. In the East of Europe they can weigh up to 160 kg and in Turkey up to 400 kg; the latter are called Attila’s!

\nGerman and Romans seem to have made boar hunting an essential initiatory rite for the young warrior in order to become free and reach adulthood.
\nIt is a very clean animal appreciating baths and little affected by the parasites unable to hang on its tough skin as ticks and fleas or other acarids plaguing other mammals. Its robust nature allows it to recover quickly from deep wounds such as a broken leg; it is rarely sick. The only disease that can affect man is the “Pork plague”.
\nIts mane silks reach 12 to 15 cms in winter, for a long time they were used to make toothbrushes for example.<\/p>\n
