Controversy over wild boars continues. The wild boar that broke into the residential buildings on Temple Road in Tin Hau, North Point last night was seriously injured and the AFCD was destroyed humanely in accordance with the new policy.
The Director of Fisheries and Conservation Department Leung Siu-fai said today (28th) that the authorities are studying the expansion of the "no feeding zone" and will submit the relevant draft to the Legislative Council for deliberation as soon as possible.
Regarding the incident of a wild boar intruding into a house on Temple Road in Tin Hau, North Point last night, Leung Siu-fai said that AFCD officers received a referral from the police last night and went to North Point to deal with the incident.
Because the wild boar is large in size and has entered residential houses, and the wild boar is seriously injured, the wild boar has been treated humanely in accordance with the new policy.
As for a delivery man who reported last night that he was attacked by a wild boar while delivering food in Tianwan Village, Aberdeen, Leung said he was aware of the situation and would deploy operations when necessary.
He also pointed out that there have been law enforcement and education of citizens to keep their distance from wild boars and not to feed them. The technical and legal issues of expanding the scope of the "no feeding zone" are being studied, and relevant drafts will be submitted to the Legislative Council for deliberation as soon as possible.

Huang Jinxing: Wounding or not is also a danger to the public
The Secretary of the Environment Huang Jinxing said that this month alone, there have been 7 cases of wild boar wounding, including citizens holding take-out food being attacked by wild boars. He believes that if wild boars are used to foraging in urban areas, they have changed their original wild habits. Wounding or not also poses a danger to the public, and calls on the public to look at the incident as a whole.
The convener of the Executive Council, Chen Zhisi, also pointed out that some citizens have reported that they are afraid of going out because they are worried about wild boars injuring people, and emphasized that the government cannot take action after the accident.
The Fishery and Conservation Department's cartoon urges not to feed wild boars to become "sucking." Netizens criticize double standards: Are you feeding again?
After the wild boar attacked the police, the killing started. Xiao Zeyi denied pressure to the Fisheries and Conservation Department in an attempt to discredit the police killing order | The Fisheries and Conservation Department disclosed that wild boars committed 42 wounding cases in 10 years and 6 people were to be operated on. The possibility of bone rehabilitation is extremely unlikely to require the AFCD to kill at least 9 wild boars. Lin Chaoying reiterated: short-term efforts in the crossed areas of humans and pigs. Huang Jinxing refused to suspend the killing of wild boars. Destruction may be the most comfortable. Humans have the right to self-defense. Humane destruction of wild boars is only aimed at urban black spots. Director of Fisheries and Conservation Department: Science and sensibility need to be balanced
