Millionaire hunter died when attacked by wild boar he shot

An Italian hunter died of serious injuries caused by a wild boar he had previously shot. Lazarus Valley, a hunter from Arenzano, Genoa, Italy, had been injured this weekend by a wild boar he had shot in the forest of Ovada.

The 74-year-old man died at the local hospital in Alexandria. Valle, a hunting fan and retired former banker, shot a large boar which turned on him and was blinded by pain and fear, attacked him and threw him to the ground then hit him several times with the terrible fangs.

The serious injuries resulted in an injury to the femoral artery. He was rushed to hospital, but died of severe bleeding.

The hunter is the first victim of the 2021 hunting season which last year claimed the lives of 14 people in the area, many of them non-hunters.

On Sunday morning, members of the group of hunters fought in the territory of Castelletto d’Orba. The dogs pushed the boar towards the area where the hunters were stationed, where Lazzaro Valle shot a specimen and injured it.

Instead of running away, the animal confronted the hunter, throwing him a few times, causing an injury to the femoral artery. Due to the profuse blood loss, Valle’s friends made a tourniquet with a belt on the injured leg.

The ambulance arrived in the area and managed to revive Valle on several occasions. He was transferred to a local medical center, where he died overnight.

Valle’s death came days after another hunter, 58, from Perosa Argentina (Turin), lost his life in the forests of Val Chisone on Saturday September 11.

In some countries, boar hunting is allowed because in some localities it is considered a pest.

It is stated that the so-called “sus scrofa” is an invasive alien species and, therefore, “with its various crosses, in the wild or in the wild, due to its adverse effects and rapid reproduction, are considered as harmful “.
