At about 11 o'clock in the morning today (13th), a citizen found a wild boar about 1 meter in length at the 12 hillsides of Fu Bao Garden in Ma On Shan and reported the case for help.

The police officers arrived at the scene and surrounded the surrounding area, and have called the Fisheries and Conservation Department staff to attend the scene. It is currently unknown whether they will use anesthesia guns to catch wild boars and then destroy them humanely.

When the reporter arrived, he found that the wild boar was sleeping beside the grass, and there was no movement.


On Tuesday (9th) a police officer in North Point was bitten by a wild boar until his calf was boned. The Fisheries and Conservation Department announced yesterday (12th) that it would regularly use anesthesia guns to catch wild boars that appeared in the urban area and destroy them humanely; it also studied and revised it. The "Wild Animal Protection Regulations" expand the prohibition of wild animal feeding areas, prohibit artificial feeding of wild animals, and reduce the number of wild boars and nuisances.

The AFCD’s measures have made animal protection organizations opposed. Today, the "Hong Kong Wild Boar Concern Group" and "Mao Shou Rescue" both posted posts on Facebook pages to oppose the agency's approach and expressed anger.

The "Hong Kong Wild Boar Concern Group" believes that two years ago, the department abolished the hunting operations with live ammunition and implemented a peaceful and rational policy of "coexistence between humans and pigs". Now it chooses to turn the car backwards, which is puzzling and angry.

The Concern Group put forward six major demands, including urging the Department to immediately withdraw the relevant policies and suggesting an additional observation period for citizens to change their habits of feeding wild boars.

"Maoshou Rescue" believes that wild boars rarely attack humans. They appear in urban areas because urban development has reduced their habitats. It also points out that wild boars only need to appear in urban areas without harming humans or destroying property. They are forcibly hunted and killed, in the name of protecting the safety of citizens, but in fact they are cruel to animals.
