The Fisheries and Conservation Department also mentioned that to reduce the nuisance of wild boars, the public needs to cooperate. Do not feed wild boars, so as not to introduce wild boars into the community.

Another district councillor, Lin Yuzhen, also pointed out that the southern district is not a no-feeding zone and it is difficult to punish effectively. Another councillor, Sima Wen, also pointed out that in addition to feeding, rubbish Barrels and garbage stations also attract wild boars to forage.
