Feeding of wild boars in urban areas should be prohibited

Regarding the government's explanation that wild boar habits have changed, it is necessary to take killing actions. The veterinarian Xie Yuhui, who had participated in the wild boar sterilization program of the Fisheries and Conservation Department, disagreed with the statement.

Therefore, he believed that to prevent wild boars from appearing in the urban areas, feeding should be prohibited. The feeding area goes to the urban area, and it is not just the Jinshan Country Park. It should get the effect that the Drainage (AFCD) wants.” I believe that the chance of wild boars returning to the urban area will be reduced.

Sterilization is a long-term plan veterinarian: 5 to 10 years plan, 2 and 3 years to see no change

Xie also pointed out, "The sterilization plan is not a two or three year event, it is a long-term arrangement and should be watched for several years."

He also disagreed with the AFCD's claim that the sterilization program could not catch up with wild boars. He criticized the agency's claim that there is no support for numbers, and said that if the sterilization work is done better, the number of wild boars expected to be sterilized can be doubled.
