As a kid, when i first got T2K, i laughted at animal encounters.
Now though, much older and experienced, i think they add a good, different dimension to the game.
I've used wild dogs to generate noise and spook players. i might have had them steal food or boots left out over night to be a nuisance.
In australia, dingos are common but not really a threat. Wild dogs are generally a dangerous mix of dingo and / or domestic dogs gone wild. Pack animals, i know of kangaroo shooters who have been scared of wild dogs at night, just the real life threat they pose.
Re feral pigs or any animal, even a light wound can be an issue for player characters. If left untreated it becomes infected quickly. Turning to a medium wound?!
A good chance for the medic or wanna-be medic to get involved!
