Unless that mother boar becomes dangerously aggressive between now and winter I doubt that she will actually be killed. In the first place, the hunter isn't allowed go hunting after her until winter when her babies are grown and no longer dependent on her for food, and secondly, by winter everybody else will have forgotten about her escapade with that man's laptop and clothes.
I think the authorities are just telling the public she will be killed in order to appease the public but I don't think they will do it. The public doesn't want to share the local watering hole with all the other wild animals that come to the lake to get a drink and cool off and scrounge around in all the garbage that the humans are leaving lying around. That mother boar probably thought that man's laptop and clothes was just more human garbage lying on the ground.
Many wild boar in the eastern part of Germany are still somewhat radioactive due to the fallout from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Anytime a wild boar is killed, a sample must be taken to a lab for radioactive analysis before the meat can be consumed. About a third have levels that are still considered radioactive. As this article states, you would have to eat a huge quantity of pork to ingest a significant amount of radiation. I cannot believe that someone will actually hunt down a wild boar over this trivial incident.
Quite frankly, the reason for the death sentence doesn't matter to me so long as the animal is humanely killed and the meat is consumed and not wasted.
