Flower Street in Haifa - map
The Haifa Municipality announced following the event this evening (17/10/21) on Flower Street:
Haifa Municipality is seriously examining the details of the incident and is focusing efforts on locating and capturing the pig.
In these weeks, the municipality began implementing the phase of removing wild pigs from the city, together with RTG, and is already completing the first step - fencing the city's borders at the edge of the Carmel Reserve.
Did the article interest you?
I heard that pigs are afraid of lions and the smell of their excrement, you should check the matter and spread lion manure, you can bring it from zoos. Speedy recovery and good health to the injured.
A pig is not a predator, it is a prey animal and therefore its concerns. There was once a case where a deer hit a cyclist, so should they be killed?? Something was unclear here.
Until Ms. Kalish is hurt, she will not understand the problem. limited in levels. Don't wait!!! kick her out immediately!!!
Until the witch is hurt she will not understand the problem. limited in levels. Don't wait!!! kick her out immediately!!!
what about the dog Did something happen to him?
Thank you Dr. Anat Kalish Rotem for pig breeding!
You are doing a great job destroying the city!
Maybe in order for you to understand the problem you are creating, you need to put a bear in a stairwell?
Bears were also here before us.
sue the municipality of Haifa.
The actions for two years blur the issue, claims in the media that the problem does not exist, an appeal after two years to the Nature and Parks Authority in a sort of agreement in which the problem is once again not addressed, only cosmetic fencing near Dania when there are thousands of wild pigs in all the neighborhoods.
The municipality is not acting - it's time to file a lawsuit, perhaps a class action lawsuit on behalf of all the wild boar victims - in property, in body, fear of walking outside and trying to claim that this is a communication problem and not a real one. Maybe a personal lawsuit against the mayor.
Unfortunately, you Sheklish sitting in the municipality of Haifa, this is what will happen more and more.
Hoping that in a few years she will fly away from her city
Just destroyed the city
It's okay in the change coalition there are council members who care more about animals than residents.
I don't think they will do anything either. It's time to simply sue the municipality and force it to dilute and immediately.
There is a limit here, a noisy group of a thousand animal activists manages the city's policy towards the hazard
for 285 thousand others.
A municipal bylaw is also needed to prohibit eating outside, and leaving food outside. We are tired of dirty jungle city.
Hope they don't find corona in him, otherwise you won't get out of Rambam alive, because that's how it is today, murderers work in hospitals instead of sitting in prison.
You're not very smart, are you?
This is the big problem with pigs.

The municipality of Haifa and the mayor should be sued
The pig must be caught and killed
From the street of the flowers in the mansion, a wounded person is taken to Rambam? Why not Carmel? Seems like fake news to me
You are delusional. Pigs weighing 200 kilos running amok towards you - we'll see how you deal with it.
Any headline that doesn't serve your twisted direction to ignore the danger immediately gets fake news or exaggeration or the person is to blame.
You are quite fed up with the public. Tens of thousands of people are afraid to leave their homes at night, what exactly do you not understand??? Where is the compassion for them??
Waiting for someone to kill a wild boar to act on thinning, that's how it is in this country.???
what will be here
Rush to hunt them with and without permission.
Life is above all law.
The anarchy created by the mayor here is intolerable. Her legitimate rule has ended while residents are being hurt so badly on the streets of Haifa because of her failings and crimes.
