The pig tried to steal the cakes - the woman was scared to the core • Video interview with the woman who was attacked

"The lack of care will eventually lead to disasters"

The phenomenon in which pigs try to take bags with shopping and food from residents and even school children's bags, continues. This time it is about an event that took place on Moriah Street.

A Dalit woman living in El Carmel bought cakes from a local pastry shop, and when she came out she encountered a family of pigs: a big mother and six little pigs, the mother tried to pull and steal the bag of cakes from the woman, and the woman, who is not used to such a situation, was scared to the core and started screaming and shaking with fear.

City Council member Hadva Almog, who was there and witnessed what happened, told Lahi Fe:
"The woman who bought cakes in the store left slowly, when a huge pig began to approach her. The woman is not a resident of the city and did not really know how to behave, she burst into screams and panicked. The owner of the hair salon across the street, Mrs. Tzipi, heard and saw what was happening and immediately approached her and brought her into the hair salon, she calmed down She sat her down, honored her with a glass of water and... the ear of manna. We all gathered around to calm her down. You should have seen her trembling, the fear and terror in her eyes. And as she said herself - "I'm not from here, I didn't know how to behave and I was scared."

Almog adds: "I think that the lack of treatment and the lack of hands of the mayor will one day lead to disasters, which will not end in a fall, injury, panic and fear, but beyond that. All the statements about treating and eradicating the phenomenon are written in the reports, but there is no connection between them and the reality they experience Haifa residents every day. Except for the giant mother pig, 6 cubs followed her and entered the yard of a private house on Moriah Street. I'm glad that once again no one was physically hurt, but looking at her and seeing her fear, it was hard."

  1. It seems that Klish is taking revenge on the residents of Haifa in every way possible and also for not handling the pig problem
    You have to go to the demonstrations and throw her out before the battle disaster

  2. Today's Haifa:
    Dog excrement in the streets, masks on the sidewalks, and wild boars that roam the city and scare residents.

  3. Everyone as a protest should stop paying property tax. If there was such a service in one of the communication companies, we would disconnect. If there is no service from the Haifa municipality, why does everyone continue to pay???

  4. Come on!!! And if a cat attacked her - would you also make noise in the newspaper?

  5. Yesterday there was also a wild boar, in Reali Gan - in Beit Biram, at the end of the gardens

  6. Wild pigs impact ecosystems through their rooting, wallowing, foraging, and hunting, with a conservative annual estimate of $1.5 billion in economic damage nationally to agriculture and the environment. They are highly competitive for food resources and have been known to drive cattle away from supplements. Deer are also known to vacate an area, such as a water source, upon the arrival of wild pigs.

    Their rooting behavior overturns and tills the soil, uprooting plants, exposing bare soil, and creating opportunities for weeds to invade. They disturb native and naturalized vegetation and reduce available forage for livestock and other wildlife. Their wallowing disturbs springs and seeps, and they are known to cause damage to stock water troughs by rooting around their bases and undermining the troughs. Their rooting and wallowing behavior also disturbs riparian areas and reduces habitat suitability for native and endangered wildlife species. In urban areas, the rooting behavior of wild pigs can cause extensive damage to lawns and gardens.

    The foraging behavior and dietary preferences of wild pigs makes them highly competitive with other wildlife species. Many native wildlife species (e.g., black bear (Ursus americanus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus)) are highly dependent on hard mast crops, which are known to be a favorite of wild pigs. In years where hard mast crops are small, wild pigs may invade and rob the underground caches of small mammal species. Wild pigs have been implicated in the reduced regeneration of oak trees in California due to their rooting behavior and their affinity for acorns. However, it has been proposed that wild pigs may instead facilitate oak regeneration because they do not generally consume all available acorns and may actually "plant" some through their rooting behavior; but there is no scientific evidence to support this theory. In fact, one study found that high density populations of wild pigs led to lower acorn survival.

    Wild pigs can be a major nuisance for farmers and ranchers, as they will invade farm fields and eat crops, disturb plantings by rooting through the soil, defecate in fields leaving behind fecal coliforms that may be infectious to humans, and pose a serious risk to human and livestock health by serving as vectors for numerous diseases and parasites. In California, damage from wild pigs can be quite high. One study noted a 6-10% loss in revenue in various agricultural commodities when wild pigs are present, while a study in Texas estimated $57 million worth of damage caused by wild pigs to crops annually.

    Wild pigs carry five major waterborne pathogens that can be infectious to humans. These five pathogens are: E.coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia. For example, after the E. coli outbreak in spinach from California fields in 2006, E. coli was isolated from both cattle and wild pigs. Although the exact source could not be verified, wild pigs were considered the prime suspect. In another study in Texas, six of seven wild pigs tested positive for E. coli. Additionally, wild pigs increase turbidity in water sources by stirring up sediment. Turbidity, or the relative cloudiness of water, is a critical factor affecting the survival of waterborne pathogens. As turbidity increases, the survival rate of waterborne pathogens, including E. coli, also increases. Furthermore, high levels of turbidity can protect waterborne pathogens during the chemical disinfection process used in water treatment facilities.

    Wild pigs pose a significant potential disease threat to humans, domestic livestock, and native wildlife and are hosts to at least 37 parasites that can affect multiple species. Wild pigs can carry potentially devastating diseases to domestic livestock and wildlife including pseudorabies, foot and mouth disease, swine brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, and classical swine fever. Given the diverse hazards posed by wild pigs, combined with the extreme negative economic impact they often impose, an effective management program is warranted.

  7. We must find an immediate solution in Haifa to the wild boar problem. It is impossible for this to continue.

  8. Ba pigs are carriers of diseases, cause environmental damage, harm agriculture. I advise the victim to file a lawsuit
    Against the municipality of Haifa and the mayor, please consult a lawyer.
    Those who are interested in knowing how wild hogs are handled in Texas, please search on Google.

  9. Continual contempt for the Haifa municipality in handling the phenomenon.
    They must be kept away from the residential neighborhoods, and immediately

  10. A pig in Haifa is like a stray cat
    what is there to fear
    You Haifa people really exaggerate

  11. Once again we are scratching
    Stop inventing nonsense and bringing delusional people who were supposedly attacked there is a fucking war in Europe and you are dealing with cakes and poor wild pigs get out of your sick obsession already there are other things in the world really we are already tired of your stupid witch hunt

  12. Those who still expect something from the city's screamer and deputy, should wake up

  13. Among the wonders of Haifa:
    I wanted to organize a trip to the center of Carmel for a group of pensioners who travel in Israel.
    After reading this article yesterday, they sent a message last night that they decided that Haifa is a bit dangerous at the moment and they prefer the Zichron Promenade.
    Yes, that's what we look like.

    • What are you doing, there is a war in the world and in another second Iran will drop a bomb on us and your stupid travelers are afraid of wild animals and nature... where did you get these delusional travelers
      Must be retired pensioners who just want to see monuments and houses crumble

  14. From the beginning I shouted that it was only a matter of time until a person lost his soul, in the meantime close to thirty people were injured and thank God they all survived,
    It's only a matter of time until a person not young from fear stumbles and deprives his life only after that unfortunately they will start working

  15. So many cases, what is the helper of the articles? It is time for the citizens of Haifa to go out into the streets and sit in front of the person who thinks on the page that she is our mayor, otherwise she will do nothing.

  16. This contempt for human life is shocking
    The disaster is only a matter of time
    Horrible lack of hand

  17. The Israeli government should allocate an area in a nature reserve like the wild animals in Carmel, and move the pigs there.

  18. It is a settled fact that our mayor is in favor of pigs and not residents, cliché, wake up to yourself the day that the first resident who offends the municipality will face a rather serious lawsuit because our mayor likes pigs in the city and not in the wild.

  19. Until a serious disaster happens, then we will see Mrs. Klish
    We will show her that one of these will stand at night at the entrance to her house

  20. There is no reason why residents and guests,
    Traumas will pass.
    The role of the municipality is to rehabilitate victims of pigs and pig carcasses,
    Including the rehabilitation of trauma victims - pigs

  21. with an appetite for the little piggies. Received fresh cakes straight from the pastry shop.... May we know no trouble.
