Hokkaido boy's rescue draws wild cheers; father apologizes
HAKODATE, Hokkaido -- The father of a 7-year-old boy who was found safe on the morning of June 3 after remaining missing for six days in a mountain forest in Hokkaido, apologized profusely for forcing his son to go through such hardship.
The second-grader, Yamato Tanooka, was found at a Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) exercise area in the town of Shikabe, about 6 to 7 kilometers from the town of Nanae where he was last seen late on the afternoon of May 28 after being left alone by his parents as a punishment for misbehaving. His return to safety drew wild cheers from school officials, fellow students and neighbors as well as members of his search-and-rescue team.

今回気になった表現はdraw wild cheersです。
wildと聞くと「野性的な」を連想しがちですが、今回の記事に合う意味を調べてみました。
LDOCEでは“feeling or expressing strong uncontrolled emotions, especially anger, happiness, or excitement”と感情を表す定義がありました。
drawも「描く」以外に「（人、事が）（事を）引き起こす；（結果、災いなどを）もたらす、招く」（『ジーニアス英和辞典（第五版、大修館書店）の意味があることから、draw wild cheersで「喜びの声があがった」となると思いました。
しかし、男の子が６日ぶりに発見されたことから「喜び」はもちろんですが、「安堵の声」のほうが強いような気がします。(flyingbird)
