Hong Kong kills feral pigs

 

"The solution to the increasing havoc caused by marauding bands of wild pigs in the New Territories is relatively simple: kill them," reported the South China Morning Post on December 21, 2006.

Sarah Liao Sau-tung, Hong Kong Secretary for Environment, Transport and Works, confirmed a day earlier that members of hunting clubs in Tai Po and Sai Kung had been officially encouraged to hunt pigs more often. "We believe a lot of people will volunteer because they enjoy it as a hobby," Sau-tung said.
