I'm in Pooland for holiday and I've had a chance to finally start backpacking, since I usually spend my life 60mi of London where "large outdoors spaces" is a thing old sages talk about. Anyways, I go for a small walk in the woods and notice it is chock full of boar tracks, as well as what I thought is likely either large stray dogs or wolves.
How worried should I be about boar or wolf attacks? Anyone from Europe carry something for self defense from wildlife?

Wolves don't really attack humans unless it's a very hungry winter and there is nothing else to eat. Even then they usually attack little kids or old people. Stray/feral dogs can be a problem, but often just yelling at them and pretending you are an invulnerable badass makes them back off.
Boars can be aggressive and unpredictable, but generally avoid people.
I wouldn't worry about boars/wolves, I would be slightly worried about feral dogs, but I doubt there are packs of them in polan. Get pepper spray just in case, climb a tree if a boar is upset about you, yell and spray if you meet feral dogs.

Basically this.
Be reasonable and dont go after wildlife and wildlife usually will leave you alone.
Boars will attack mainly when protecting young, so just avoid them.
