Last Thursday (27/05/21), a piglet was attacked in the courtyard of a residential building in the Shprintak neighborhood in Haifa, by a person who encountered it.

One of the residents of the building in whose yard the incident took place, turned in shock to the chairman of the Green faction of Haifa, Avihu Han, and told him that the pig had been severely beaten, according to her, with a stick and stones, and had injured one of his eyes as well as his legs. Han passed the information on to Hila Lauper, a member of the faction who is active in many For the sake of the animals and she called Avihu Sherwood, from the "For the Animals" association (and the one who founded it), a non-profit association that rescues, treats and rehabilitates wild animals in distress.
Abihu Sherwood arrived at the scene and collected the pig, which was seriously injured, to the association's clinic, where it is still hospitalized.
Avihu Sherwood gave a message to Lahi Fa - the News Corporation:
This pig suffers from a broken tusk, a broken molar tooth, a very severe injury to the eye and dry wounds all over the body.
I take care of all the wild animals in Israel, all the animals that appear on the "black lists". This is the first time I have handled a lynched animal. To this day, all the cases are cases of trampling, or an attack by a dog that caught a piglet.
"There is no legitimacy to take the law into one's own hands"
Hila Lauper from the Green Party of Haifa, said to Lahi Fe - the news corporation:
"What worries me is that alongside most of the reactions, there is a minority that justifies the violent behavior, taking the law into their own hands. It is true that there is a problem, no one can deny that, whoever denies the pig problem, is doing harm to both the pigs and the residents. A very high friction is created between the pigs and the humans in the city, a friction that is unnatural. Their presence inside the city is not good for anyone. The pigs get used to a human environment and lose the links of a wild animal, they feed on human food and become dependent on it, thus losing their skills and survival abilities," says Laufer.
"Besides this," Laufer adds, "there is also acute agitation and an attempt to present the pigs as a cruel, aggressive and dangerous creature, which causes people to panic. This agitation is not healthy and the result is that people take the law into their own hands. We need to understand what the behavior of the pigs stems from, invest in information And not to get agitated. It's important for me to note - It is not true that we are for the pigs and against the people, I am not in favor of extremism at all. Obviously you can't tell people they have to learn to live with pigs under their house. But the mayor did not take the necessary actions. No one, including me, knows what the moves are and what the mayor's plan is in the matter. In the test of the result - this is one big failure, in all parameters. I direct all my strength to the fight against the person who is supposed to handle the problem - the mayor, it is her job to take care of the treatment and the solution."
It is important for Laufer to clearly emphasize: "One must make a complete and unequivocal separation between the problem and taking the law into one's own hands - it has no legitimacy. And in this case, it is a small pig puppy. There is no way that such a puppy would pose such a danger, which requires violence as self-defense! And more violence So extreme!
Moreover, this puppy, if he was a little bigger and had the ability to defend himself, he would try to run away and on the way trample some children, or cause an accident. These are things that can end in disaster. Today it's a pig, tomorrow it's a dog, and the day after that it's a kid hitting another kid with rocks. This is a very dangerous line that must not be crossed. The violence may spill over into other areas, and no one will be surprised afterwards. A municipality that allows a municipal employee to abuse a pig, you shouldn't be surprised that later the residents do the same thing." (Laufer refers to the case in which a Haifa municipality employee was photographed capturing a pig that squealed in alarm, tied up and loaded into the municipality's van). From the news about the case, as published in Hai Pa:
The handling of the case was transferred to the Nature and Parks Authority, and this is their response:
The Nature and Parks Authority is investigating the case, today (Sun. 30/5/21) the witness will be invited to testify regarding the case, after which the authority will file a complaint with the police if the witness does not want to file a complaint. The Nature and Parks Authority operates by virtue of the Wildlife Protection Law. In the above case, the suspicion is of cruelty to animals and therefore it is necessary to file a complaint with the Israel Police. The pig is a protected wild animal and therefore it is forbidden to harm it, according to the law. If a citizen feels danger, he is required to call the police or the municipal hotline.
Attorney Shmuel Steiner, who specializes in tort law, commented on the case and said:
A herd of pigs may number up to 20 pigs. The males usually do not form part of the herd, but move around alone and join it only during the breeding season. The weight of an adult pig ranges from 60 to 90 kilograms. The role of the municipal veterinarian is to bring down the numbers through preventive actions. At the same time, there is an increase in the number of encounters of residents with wild boars. These encounters may lead to panic among the city's residents, but it must be emphasized that wild boars are afraid of humans and do not pose a danger to the public.
It is important to keep a distance from them and avoid contact with them. They should not be provoked and when a resident meets a wild boar it is recommended to walk calmly away. Also, you should avoid giving food to the wild boars, this causes them to lose their natural fear of humans. The loss of fear leads them to approach human habitations in search of food and water. As a result, there are frequent meetings with the residents and this may lead to injury to people as a result of road accidents or direct attack during the breeding periods and the littering period, when the mothers are protecting their cubs.
To this day, I don't understand why they don't file a class action lawsuit against the Haifa municipality and its leader regarding the pigs, their spread and the failure to remove them.
In any case where a person is injured physically or in property, I would recommend suing the local authority with a normal tort claim if dozens and hundreds of claims arrive, the municipality will not be able to ignore it, and neither will the court be able to ignore it.'
Haifa Municipality gave a response to Haifa:
As has been published more than once - the Haifa municipality works with all the proven means to keep the wild pigs away from the residential neighborhoods, while focusing on preventing food and water sources that are the main attraction factors of the wild animals to the city.
In this framework, the municipality is working to increase cleanliness in the public space, thousands of garbage cans, recycling facilities and litter boxes have been installed and replaced with bins that are not accessible to wild pigs. Hundreds of meters of fences were placed to prevent wild boars from entering the gardens, a municipal emergency line was established to center resident inquiries on the subject, and more. Along with all of these, the municipality carries out enforcement and information activities regarding the importance of keeping the public space clean. Yes, the municipality established a municipal fund that helps finance the fencing of private yards. The municipality continues to examine any means that prove to be effective in keeping the wild boars away.
Attacking any animal is a criminal offense and it is investigated and dealt with by the authorities authorized to enforce the law on the subject.
The pig, as mentioned, is a protected wild animal and should not be harmed. If you have seen an injured pig, you must report it to the Nature and Parks Authority Hotline - 3639 *
This is antisemitism for its own sake
Unfortunately the wild boars have risen up and are chasing people. If all the beauties of the soul want to keep them so much they will grow them in their backyard. They arrive in a group and make names in the neighborhoods. They go into the stairwell and turn over the bins and also chased children who were playing in the yard.
They multiplied in an uncontrolled way and all this because of the lack of hands of the mayor of Haifa!
Disgust of a person!!!! Hit it back 4 times!
All in all, they only come to eat and not to harm, they need to protect the pigs from abuse like street cats, dogs and more
Can I send a link to the pig?
A municipality does nothing because there was nothing and still receives money and fat reminders for it... Luckily a hero resident defended his life and was saved this time from an attack by reinforcements from a herd of pigs...
Shouldn't hit and injure the animal, could just scatter him away or call for
assistance!! Bad cruel person
This is truly brutal behavior. good week
Klish demonstrates how you can take a sweet city and destroy it in the fastest way, the stupidity celebrates
Today he will hurt a piglet tomorrow it will be homeless and who knows where it will end.
People like him should be kept away. He is dangerous.
A wretched man, there is no other word. This person will also abuse the dogs and cats if they disturb him. worthless person. It's a shame he didn't meet the puppy's mother.
It's good that there are bored people in Haifa. Maybe you'll find better things to worry about?
Why not fence off all the woods and meadows (yes yes, this is possible even in areas where nature literally invades up to the bottom of the house) and place "cattle gates" or for the sake of convenience "pig gates" so that people could pass and walk there but the pigs could not enter?! Why insist on being a third world country when there is a technological patron
I really hope they find the perpetrator. Whoever harms a piglet for "revenge" can equally harm another person, of another race... I would not be surprised if this is a person who participated in the lynching attempts on Arabs in the various cities. Shame on his parents.
According to the scriptures it can be understood that man is not a protected creature.
Haifa became the city of pigs. They protect and the residents what are you?
Just unbelievable.
A pig near the house
It can count
Takeaway?
As they did an article for the benefit of the pigs, write an address for the benefit of the residents who are in constant danger of panic and anxiety over the pollution and dirt that the pigs make due to children's dependence on adults to leave the house and the residents' failure to lead a normal life is simply disrespectful to human beings. I definitely understand. I once asked a Bedouin if they weren't afraid of jackals, so she told me that's how we capture one jackal, we beat him, and then he goes to disperse the rest of the jackals, and they don't come near our area. That's how we should behave with the other jackals who interfere with our normal life. Because "it is allowed The lake is amazing"
People in their ignorance use the well-worn phrase "taking the law into their own hands" in this case as in many other cases there is no law that allows attacking pigs.
On the contrary, the pig like many other animals is protected.
But why not butcher the pig and put it on the barbecue that way at least it will be tasty. There is nothing better than a pork steak and a wild boar.
A pig is destined to die and eat garbage all its life, how come the nice and kind hearted lawyer like the nice young people don't take care of a hot meal for every pig?
Why? Don't they deserve it? Don't they have rights? Aren't they an organic part of the diversity of life in Haifa just like humans? Shame they don't have basic winnings Shame
I would do to this rascal exactly what he did to the piglet - I would give him a big eye
Why not load the pigs onto trucks and take them away? A few days of work. In the meantime they multiply. Make sure later that they don't enter the city again like they have until now...
Prosecute the abuser.. simply malice and cruelty for the sake of it.. the abusing creature is dangerous to the public and should be imprisoned an hour earlier..
Crazy situation people have to live with when pigs are walking around....why wait? As usual, until a disaster happens, no one will act...
Due to the incredible proliferation and growth of wild boars in the absence of a natural enemy, there is no escape from sending hunters to hunt and thin them out in large quantities. In countries with a Christian population, they are constantly hunted down and this is how dilution is carried out and you don't see the hallucinatory plays as you see in Israel.
There is a demand for the meat of a wild boar (delicious red and excellent and Duma cattle only tastier). If they settle the issue and provide a place to perform a veterinary examination of the hunted meat, there is no problem selling it to a large part of the population whose food is not kosher.
A female pig gives birth to about 7-10 puppies per year, mainly in the months of March - May.
The beautiful of the soul will be useful and the followers of let live live stop bullying on this issue.
What nature does not do alone, man will help with appetite.
Some nonsense.
And if the pig walks in the middle of the street and it makes me go down the road. So now I'm committing an offense again.
Throw them away, it's a wild animal. Do you write what you write after the steak you ate or before?
Repeats the mentioned demand/proposal: the said authorities must address the problem of wild animals and especially the pigs in the Haifa area, feeding and drinking stations must be established at appropriate points
So the pigs will not have to look for food in the streets of Haifa
All in all the pigs and sows with the puppies are looking for food.
Even people who cannot buy food (a problem that also needs to be solved) look for food in garbage cans.
A. Wild boars are not a good thing that they are in the city itself, this is something that cannot be argued with. The question of what means to solve the problem, if at all, is certainly not worth harming them in order to get them out, and in my opinion, collecting them all and putting them in zoos or other areas is not practical. The municipality and the state must think about how to evacuate them from there. In my opinion, zoo representatives should simply go around the city for the anesthesia operation of the pigs of about several months, anesthesia which is of course intended to collect the pigs in trucks to other and safe places and not, God forbid, death anesthesia.
B. Regarding the attack on the pig, it is a very serious thing and in my opinion it is necessary to punish those who cause animal suffering and those who abuse animals with actual imprisonment (in my opinion this law does exist in Israel, the question is what is the law regarding wild animals), it is mandatory to file a complaint about this scum and in my opinion it is mandatory to fine him thousands Many will contribute to the protection of animals. This is the only way to prevent such atrocities by people from the juice of the juice of the garbage of the population.
Shaming exists precisely to engage in such scum at the height of rage.
Good Day.
The pigs take care of the pigs. What about taking care of people? Some proportions
This is now Klish transfers the responsibility for the pigs to the residents. Sometimes the word to contain is completely unnecessary, everyone we are forced to contain in the end will dismiss us and take our place. It needs to be assimilated either we or they are enough for inclusion...
Instead of investing in a trip to take it to slaughter after a vet examination and sell it to pork eaters. That way both the municipality and the buyers of the pork will benefit. The pig will also get a warm home.
Raz is lucky that lack of intelligence does not cause pain
It is enough to start with dilution and seriously. And for all the pig huggers, you can participate in the adopt a pig operation and take a pig home.
Haifa, the capital of the pigs. Hallelujah tomorrow they will replace Kalish.
Kudos to Abihu!
It's good that there are also good people
Heavy punishment for the resident who lynched in the pigsty!!!
My heart breaks for her, why does such a baby have to be abused?
People live in a movie of aggressive reconstructions, they are the most afraid of humans and certainly do not attack
We totally freaked out. How do you thin out the pig population? -Give licenses to hunters to hunt them in the wild. The poor citizen the pig is threatening him in his yard and these righteous people are working against the citizen.
This is how they continue to build bodias and damage their living areas.
Stop building Haifa does not need more buildings.
Your construction is the result you will face and this poor pig is an unfortunate encounter between a human being because that human being must go to prison for harming a wild animal
There is no solution without cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority - only the point of watering and feeding in the reserves - will prevent them from being forced to return to the cities - then predators will also look out there and thin them out.
When will you realize that a pig is not a street cat, people, wake up, you mustn't do anything with it, and I don't know what, the municipality must find a solution in less than a month, even if it's a hunter or an evacuation
I wish they would do this to all pigs
All of a sudden the municipality does relate??
For months people have been waiting for an answer
Stop being self-righteous!
