“We are also working with stakeholders on public education and outreach, to promote safe and responsible human-wildlife encounters. This includes taking enforcement action against the illegal feeding of wildlife, which can alter their natural foraging behaviour and lead them to rely on humans for food,” Dr Loo added.A 34-year-old woman wasShe sustained multiple wounds and cuts on her right calf, buttock and arm.
In the latest incident, Mothership reported that the man said he was walking his dogs at around 8.45pm when a boar charged towards him out of nowhere, seeming aggressive.Despite being wounded, the man tried to run after the dog for about 20m to 30m, before he “felt his leg grow heavy”. His wife later drove him to the hospital, which required him to undergo surgery at around 2am on Friday.The Bukit Panjang resident said boars are sighted frequently in the area and are usually harmless, and he hopes that the boar will be relocated instead of being captured and put down.
Dr Loo said that when confronted by a boar, people should remain as calm as possible and move away slowly while keeping a safe distance.“If adult wild boars are seen with young piglets, keep a distance and leave them alone as they can become aggressive when trying to defend their young,” Dr Loo added.Get The New Paper on your phone with the free TNP app. Download from the
