British media: Wild pig invasion community incidents are increasing, and the New Zealand government hunters to kill wild boars

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The residents of Huilineton, the capital of New Zealand, reported that wild boars frequently appeared in their yard, which not only destroyed the environment, but also threatened family and pet safety.

According to the British "Guardian" reported on the 27th, Wellington City is not large, and the farmland farmhouse is only about 10 minutes drive from the city center. Local farmers reported that in recent months, wild boar attacks have killed about 60 lambs. New Zealand had no wild boars. In the late 18th century, colonists introduced pigs as domestic animals, but some pigs broke up after escaping. At present, 1/3 of New Zealand's land is distributed. They destroy farms and natural environments, threatens human and animal safety, and also carry cow tuberculosis viruses, causing New Zealanders to have a headache. In Wellington, although the accurate number of wild boars is unknown, as the incidents that invade the community are increasing, the number of locals estimate that the number of wild boars is surging. In the Brooklyn District of Wellington, the government even hired hunters to hunt wild boars. However, many land in the Brooklyn area is privately owned, and it is difficult for hunters to reach it and it is difficult to achieve thoroughly. Therefore, the hunting work has a limited role in controlling the number of local wild boars. (Wang Pinzhi)
