The attitudes and reasons for culling are slightly different there than here in CA where wild boars were introduced, crossed with domesticated pigs, and now cover much of the state. There's quite the movement to get rid of every one of these nonnatives over concerns for fragile native habitats and agricultural fields (destruction of crops and E. coli contamination). Local Fort Ord has had them since 2004. The land managers have killed over 100 and guess that there are 6 still out among 15,000 acres and surrounding fields. I've never seen any mention here about them being physically dangerous, except as road hazards. I don't understand the reasons for culling where they were once native. How the heck did the FC estimate 400 is an acceptable number? I suspect wild boar populations will naturally self-limit, so why not let them be?Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593565576776346728.post-44764678948970510772012-09-19T09:43:27.005+02:002012-09-19T09:43:27.005+02:00Firstly just keep going and plugging away. You are...Firstly just keep going and plugging away. You are doing a great job.<br />Secondly as our countryside is 99% artificially managed so I believe the creatures and humans that use it should also be managed. <br />I am staying on a 650 acre, predominantly arable farm. Hedges were going to be flailed the last week. I asked why now and not in early spring/late winter. They didn't know. They did know to keep hedges but no one had explained that birds live on the fruits through winter. They couldn't care less when they flail.<br />Sundays they shoot magpie. Good job as they need controlling. They have left a dozen and now leave the dead. Food for lower down the chain.<br />I feel the badger cull is just an excuse for a bit of sport but having said that I don't know many hoorays who would wander about with a gun in the wee small hours. Probably end up shooting each other!!! I can see that unless the nature conservancy pays to trap and inoculate or better still inoculate and move them to a different area then there is always going to be a problem.<br />Kielder forest would be a wonderful place for wild boar! There's precious little else there.<br />Again....Keep plugging away.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593565576776346728.post-34033093441615726842012-09-18T21:51:32.237+02:002012-09-18T21:51:32.237+02:00With you all the way.
