Since the AFCD announced the regular capture and humane destruction of wild boars in the urban area last month, it will conduct another wild boar capture operation in the Mid-Levels tonight (23rd). Five wild boars were anaesthetized and destroyed humanely.
The AFCD issued a press release in the evening stating that the wild boar capture operation was carried out on Asahi Road, Mid-Levels today. The veterinarian started to capture 5 wild boars using an anesthesia gun at 6 pm and treated them humanely with drug injections. The operation was completed at 8:30.
A spokesperson for the Fisheries and Conservation Department stated that in order to reduce the number of wild boars in the area and to protect the safety of the public, the department will continue to capture wild boars and prioritize locations where there are multiple wild boars, where wild boars have been injured, or where wild boars may pose a danger to the public. .
