Urban pigs • learning to get along in the city (photo: David Domb) Monday, 26/3/24
Young piglets learn from their mother how to manage in the city. The abundant trash cans are just waiting for them to come and rummage through them, you can always find something and enjoy a good and varied meal...
A wild boar walks among the graves of Jews in the Haifa cemetery 2/2/24 (Photo: Gila Zamir)
Gila Zamir tells Lehi here: Very simply, we drove on the internal road to the memorial to my father's grave. Suddenly Amnon said to me: Look who you meet here and I saw the pig. The truth is that I have developed complete indifference to the presence of pigs in the city everywhere because it has become a natural part of the street, the yard and everywhere.
The pig turned and sniffed the graves and seemed to be looking for something and that was the end of it.
There are places where the presence of a pig has meaning with added value such as near a synagogue, a cemetery, in cultural centers, etc. In general, this is no different from the fact that they are everywhere and have become a natural part of our lives. Klish claims that people from all over the world come to learn from her how to take care of pigs...
The winter litters are already here - 3/2/24 (Photo: Eli Logsi)
As every year, the residents of Haifa feel a certain decrease in the amount of pigs on the streets of the city between the months of November and February. This is the season when the pigs breed in the wadis. At the beginning of February, the first herds arrive with the caravan of puppies. This photo is from the synagogue at 22 King David Street in the Neve David neighborhood (photo: Eli Logsi).

A herd of wild boars in Sefer square in Haifa
In a number of interviews that the mayor of Haifa, Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem, gave to local media, Einat stated that recently she "almost doesn't see pigs in Haifa anymore". So we are here to help Einat get to know the herds of pigs on the streets of the city.
The photo was taken on Rosh Hashanah by Moran Bergman Morg. Happy New Year.
◄A huge wild boar in the amusement park in Kaspari
Families with children who came to the amusement park on Kesferi Street in Haifa, encountered a huge pig this evening. He was busy with his affairs, but caused panic among some of the families. The residents called the municipal hotline 106 and surprisingly, inspectors arrived and chased the pig away. After a few minutes, the inspectors left and the pig returned. The desperate residents abandoned the garden.
To remind you, a few weeks ago we published that Klish ordered to stop handling complaints about pigs and to refer the complaints to the Ministry of the Interior, it seems that now the municipal apparatus is still trying to act, but without much success...
◄ A giant wild boar chases an elderly woman with a bag
Sderot Moriah, Separ Square 4/7/23, 11:00 - An elderly woman, about 70 years old, has to escape from a huge wild boar that is interested in her shopping bag. This time it ended peacefully, when the woman managed to escape to a nearby store and the pig continued to look for another solution for his breakfast.
◄ The pigs dominate the street in Neve David and Ramat Hanasi (photo: Dodi Miblom)
A reporter living here, Dodi Miblom, who photographed the pig procession, said: I heard in an interview that Klish said that she solved the pig problem and that people from all over the world come to learn from her about solving the problem, so I immediately stuck my head out the window to find out about the success of the project and came across a herd of pigs on King Shlomo Street in Neve David. Beyond that, in the butterfly park at Ramat Hanasi, every morning the bins are turned upside down and their contents are scattered over the park. At 9:00 the sanitation workers arrive to clear the garbage from the paths and until then the residents walk around in mountains of trash.
◄ It appears that the pig that bit at the entrance to Carmelia continues to chase children (Photo: Judit Dubovi). This week a man was bitten at the entrance to Carmelia, but it appears that the pig continues to haunt. He was photographed chasing a boy in front of the Borax restaurant.
Attack by a pig - a man was bitten at the entrance to the Carmelia neighborhood - 20/4/23 - watch the article in the link below:
(Mon. 17/4/23 12:30) - On Rupin Road, near the meeting with Gaola, a new piglet family was photographed a short time ago:
Mother and her little piglets went for a walk in the warm sun. The pigs "feel "at home", this is no longer new and are seen in the video running around in the thicket of vegetation without fear and looking for food. ◄ Tiny piglets travel with mother in Goula • Watch
◄ Pigs grazing in the Mania Shohat garden - Carmel Center Saturday 15/4/23 (Photo: Hanan Markowitz)
Gan Mania Shohat is supposed to serve families with children, but on Saturday morning it serves a herd of pigs. These animals are not vaccinated, they carry a huge amount of parasites (ticks and fleas) and occasionally grab bags of food from the hands of frightened citizens. Here the question arises to whom does the urban space belong - to the residents or to the pigs?
13/4/23 - A pig steals a shopping bag from a frightened woman
City Council member Itzik Blas, who shot the video, told Lahi Pa:
A woman with bags of food in her hands passed by Villa Carmel. A large pig and several puppies chased me. The woman tried to escape but was unable to. The big pig stole the bag. The woman panics and immediately releases the bag.
This is a frightening and worrying phenomenon - walking on the street in daylight is problematic for the residents of Haifa. Whoever walks with a bag of food becomes a target for attack by the pigs. As a city council member who was attacked by a pig, I have been demanding thinning for several years, but the mayor did not take care and lost control of everything that happened in the city. All she has left is to blame the others for the mistakes she makes.
Gourmet pigs raid a restaurant in the center of Carmel - 10/4/23
Haifa's pigs develop sophistication in everything related to their diet, at least that's how it appears in the video before you, which was filmed today (Monday 10/4/23), in which a family of wild pigs can be seen roaming freely among the restaurants in the center of Carmel. The family, father, mother and little piggies, peek into the interior of the restaurants, sniff, go back and forth, just as if debating and struggling with which restaurant they should choose and what they feel like eating the most...
Perhaps this is a kind of evolutionary process that is being revealed here before our eyes in Haifa, when the pigs develop special tastes and preferences in food and are no longer satisfied with the remains of humans waiting for them in the garbage bins...
A family in anxiety on Keller Street - 31/03/23
Haifa resident Danny Mador captured on his phone the moment when a family got into a state of anxiety on Keller Street, when a pig with puppies made it clear to them who rules the street in Haifa. The father and mother hugged their children to protect them, in case a mother pig made a defensive/offensive move, for the benefit of her young. Needless to say, in terms of personal security, this is a situation that should not happen in the urban space.

In the hustle and bustle of the day, at a central intersection, a diner retrieved his heart from the trash cans without hindrance
Just last night (Wednesday 16/3/23) as I recall, there was a special council meeting on the subject of pigs, in which the municipal ecologist claimed that the actions taken by the Haifa municipality prove their effectiveness and are manifested in the reduction of the number of pigs in the city.
Nevertheless, El Hai Pa continues to receive photographs of pigs filling the streets of the city, appropriate for the season.
Here's a video taken a while ago: Busy Khorev Junction, a porky lunch, straight from the garbage cans. (Thursday 16/3/23 at 17:00)

Come back with the puppies • This time – guests on Bethlehem Street in French Carmel • 12/3/23
New guests came to visit this morning (Sun. 12/3/23) together with their young puppies on Bethlehem Street. According to the tenants, until now the fence has prevented ferrets from entering the area of the houses, and in any case, this morning this family arrived, for the first time with puppies. They ate roots and behaved quite indifferently towards people, and did not show any aggression or alarming behavior.
The pigs returned from the winter litters - noon today on Moriah Street 4/3/23

Two big ones and lots of little ones - Sderot Handiv - 17/2/23
(live here with the wild boars) - Towards Shabbat, a family of wild pigs came to visit on Sderot Handiv. As befits deep-rooted Hifaites, they felt comfortable in the garden of the residence, hanging out and enjoying the relatively comfortable weather and the pleasant sun.
You have to take into account that each female pig gives birth to 12-13 puppies and yes they may be cute when they are small but in the end it is unpleasant to come across them face to face, an animal is not something expected
Except that we had an accident on Samson Street with a pig and we couldn't open the front door
Definitely an unpleasant experience
And I love animals, I have always had and still have a lovely dog from the SOS association.
Only in Haifa can you use the excuse:
But the teacher, a wild boar ate my homework!!
You would give him leftover vegetables and that's it, people, you don't live alone on this earth, there are creatures here that also need food, water, a living area,
Really nice, we will see you in a year or two. You will beg to get them out of your houses or out of the kitchen and the food will be eaten from your kitchen table and you will try to prevent them, they will also hurt you. That's how it was with Hizballah in the north and Hamas in the south, that's how it started from the little one who turned into a monster and in the end we saw what happened. Now now according to Shigdal completely eliminate the phenomenon of wild animals near humans. Not that I like them, they should live somewhere else as it was until today.
Yona Yahav was strong and courageous
I have a family of pigs in the building, sweeties are part of us
You can recruit them to Rafah maybe...
Yona Yahav committed to 90 days.
50 have already passed.
Stay optimistic.
All the idiots of the left after the regular demonstrations are going to feed the nuisance pigs
This city is off the rails.
Let the pigs be moved to Caesarea, where they will feel at home, near their parents
I hope that Mr. Yahav has not yet forgotten what a geometric column is.
And they multiply at a growth rate of a geometric column:
Each female pig spawns 4-8 pigs per year.
Today 2000 pigs, in a year between 8000 and 16 thousand,
Even eliminating 100 per day will not achieve the goal of eliminating within 90 days.
Of course you have to divide by 2, 4000 to 8000
Yona Yahav - did you promise? hold! Eliminate all pigs immediately! Innocent people think that this animal is an amusement animal. Until they get hurt and then quickly change their minds. Come on, to work!
This site hates animals especially the pigs.
In my opinion, we need to examine the connection between the municipality that wanted the mass and barbaric killing of pigs by shooting and the media that saw fit to devote an entire page to videos about pigs that allegedly disturb the public (and also called on the public to upload more and more videos) and thus seemingly legitimize the mass killing.... The public does not Stupid at all and the interests and connection of the media here to the authorities are clear and transparent....shame!
Regarding the boy with the bag: you don't see any pig that stole the bag, but children laughing at the pig playing with the bag and it is not impossible that the children threw the bag at the pig....therefore it looks like a clear incitement against the pigs by claiming that the pig allegedly hurt the child...reminds me a bit of the Crusades and the plots they invented on the Jews to justify the disturbances against them....shame!
How selfish are we? Leave the animal alone, it wants to breathe and eat. Dysfunction and desire to deal with the problem in a humane and correct way as they did in many countries in the world in a few divorces. And to all those who call "beautiful souls" to those who oppose the mass killing of a helpless wild animal with intelligence and puppies. Do some soul searching, there's a problem so we just close it because our comfort is compromised a little? Or unpleasant to the eye? This is not garbage disposal. Sad, get over yourself and stop the narcissism.
It's not the pigs fault. The human factor is to blame. The municipality adopted the method of collecting manure by offering bins, which remain open and thus the manure is accessible to the pigs. And many residents also leave their garbage bags outside the bins. It is the manure that attracts the pigs. Otherwise they have nothing to look for in a built-up area. They should make sure that the garbage is removed before the amount of garbage exceeds the capacity, that they follow criminals who throw garbage at random. And looking to the future, they will replace the collection method.
And in general, the city suffers from much more dirt than pigs.
You can finally eliminate these pigs!!
Tired of the haters of people and the licks of animals.
Are you fed up!
To exile you together with your friends, your likenesses, to the forests of the witness in Siberia!
🤮🤬
Eliminate the phenomenon immediately. Yona Yahav - You promised - now you will fulfill it. Until the last of the pigs is no longer found in Haifa. Extremely dangerous animals and a huge nuisance, and a great danger to everyone!
Send them to Doss in Bnei Brak and 100 gates
Send the pigs to the farms in Bnei Brak and Mea Shearim
The Mayor of Haifa, Mr. Yona Yahav, you promised before the elections to deal with the issue of bar returns in Haifa, Mr. Mayor, please start acting as you looked at the residents of the city. Have a lovely day
It is important for the public to know following your article this week that hunting contractors have started shooting pigs at the Aliyah gate and loading them dying onto vans, so any report and photo shared by the public may/might direct the hunters there.
Let's look at ourselves in the mirror in the morning, we have pumped up the democracy and "liberal" protests for all these months, and put a "liberal" mayor in power, to what moral low have we descended to hurt helpless animals like this??
And on the website we will write: at least in the name of the press, why not make it difficult for the mayor and the municipality to find humane solutions and not like barbarians like in the Middle Ages!?
You mocked the cliche all these years, at least it didn't hurt any helpless animal.
Enough with the bashing.
The pigs attack adults and children day and night. And they won't tell us how kind and nice they are.
They are a sanitary hazard, which endangers every passerby.
No such phenomenon exists in any city.
Whoever cares about them so much, will take them
to him home
Human safety comes before them!
Hahahahaha, the photo of the pigs in front of the motorcyclist, look how happy the pigs were to meet him, they were literally wagging their tails with joy.
Great pigs. Nothing is done to anyone. Leave them alone
I don't know, in all the videos it seems that the pigs mind their own business and don't threaten anyone, and people are just in unnecessary hysteria.
And what I did see, there is a lot of garbage from people who throw garbage in the street, which attracts the pigs to the city.
Maybe the population should be taken care of before the pigs are taken care of
great 🤗
Just why write down that the residents take pictures of hazards? I think the residents take pictures of animals
capture them and sell the meat through the slaughterhouses in Ivlin. Excellent meat.
Hello everyone. The pig is not a soldier, he is not a terrorist and he does not want to murder anyone. Nokhaba terrorists - must be killed. The pig - just wants to live. One should do as in any advanced country - (Australia, Canada, the United States) put them to sleep with anesthesia arrows and move them to fenced nature reserves in the south of the country. Murder - out of the question!
Kudos to the reporter who publishes articles, photos and notes from a year ago....
Nega, I believe and am confident that the mayor of Haifa, Mr. Yona Yahav, together with Mr. Avihu Han MM and the deputy mayor of Haifa will find a solution to the problem of the assistants
In our beautiful city Haifa. The city council is fined for the first time only this coming Monday. A little patience
Avihu Han, acting mayor of Haifa, will also work with mayor Yona Yahav in finding a solution to this problem
It is possible and correct to stop demonizing a wild animal that is looking for a quiet place to live and raise its puppies. We need to talk about safe and humane solutions that allow the pigs to return to the forest and find food there after we planted them in the living areas.
Let's take pity on them and leave the city to them!!
We will run away abroad
What do you say? What crazy people..
exactly!
