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.

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.
These are always two females and their cubs. The males travel alone or in a group of mature but young brothers who have been expelled from the herd dominated by the mothers.
If you have any food in your possession, throw it away and let yourself go
Go find yourself! Leave the animals, all of Haifa in Beniya, what do you want from pigs who have no corner where they can live in peace
They are far less harmful than all of humanity combined
Rest assured that pigs have much more space in the world than you do.
But if you want to give them your place anyway - respectfully
And thanks to the mayor
Suffer and be afraid in silence, the phenomenon will stop after the upcoming elections, because pigs do not have the right to vote!
Only dilution + the removal of a mayor who prevented dilution and created the problem for 4 years.
There is no other solution
enough already! You dug! Enough with your poor articles about refunds! There are wild boars in many places in the city, and they are not aggressive! If you go on with your life and don't interact with them, there is no reason for them to interact with you.. we have enough human pigs to deal with!
They should not be killed, they should be returned to the Carmel forests, this is their place, there are too many means to catch them. And of course, fine those who feed them
I saw a pig on Hori Street, in Hadar, and what finally turns out to be Mayor Kalish Rotem,
I saw a pig on Hori Street, in Hadar, and what finally turns out to be Mayor Kalish Rotem, entering the municipality, together with her assistants
Pour a lot of food for the pigs in the Horev center area on Mochash in the places that the anarchists close
Will be interesting :))))
The municipality's solution
slaughter them again
Each of the nice piglets reaches sexual maturity in less than a year.
Then each of the nice ones pictured here will have their own pig and 5-8 piglets.
The pigs go to Bat Galim because the neighborhood is dirty with a lot of garbage that is thrown in the area of the second Aliya St. For example, in the Hid Mega lot there are already piles of waste that the municipality does not clean.
And what will the photographs help? They should be eliminated not sparingly but methodically. They are dangerous to humans... Neither photographs, nor studies, nor fencing will help. Are you waiting for the next disaster? There is no choice, they are dangerous and must be systematically eliminated.
Haifa's symbol should be replaced with a pig.
Soon they will be the majority in Haifa.
What about feeding areas in the Carmel forests and wadis?
Feeding corners would solve their need to go out and look for food in the city.
These are the pigs of Klish and Tzuk cultivated their entire term that at least they will vote for them in the upcoming elections. Do something already bunch of zeroes
Regarding the correlation between lawbreakers who feed pigs and against thinning against the interest of public order and lawbreakers blocking roads who are against reform that will maintain law and order and governance..
The main thing is that there is a projector from the Neteva and Gardens Authority for which they are paid about half a million shekels (the cost of 5 municipal employee salaries). He 'marks unruly pigs for thinning' and then they bring in a person who shoots these pigs - at an additional cost of NIS 1 million (the cost of 10 municipal employee salaries).
The costs of wild boar monitoring research projects with transmitters and cameras whose necessity is not at all clear, fencing and all the dealings between the municipality, the university and the RTG about 6 million shekels (the cost of 60 municipal employee salaries).
From all the waste of copy on this failure factually the solutions failed. A
Therefore - this urgent discussion took place. In it, for example, the Haifa municipality demanded another NIS 1 million for drying gardens and removing grass (the cost of 10 municipal employee salaries). This is the embarrassingly low level of solutions in the face of the impotent helplessness with which the issue was treated.
All these direct and indirect costs came at the expense of budgets for other important things. assistants accessibility. Strengthening buildings. Transportation. Reinforce policing. scholarships Renovation of dangerous buildings. and more.
The opponents of the thinning of the wild boars whose pressure group included the mayor Einat Kalish Rotem were unable to prove that the thinning was illegal or ineffective and had to pay for a 'spot' thinning and a number of projects that did not solve the situation but wasted millions of shekels, created tremendous image damage to the city, fear in the public especially at night in neighborhoods and damage to property and city gardens.
Shame on you for the 'they are cute and harmless' comments. Until when will you fail Haifa and waste her money. We must return to permanent thinning in all udadiyas in the format until 2018 and cancel any other budget item related to wild boar thrashing.
Habit becomes natural, nature becomes destiny.
People here respond with "don't feed them" and you forgot to say that the people got used to throwing their garbage everywhere and not in the garbage, then the pigs came and saw food everywhere, ate and got used to it,,,, and here comes fate.
There is no difference between the wild boar and the wild animals. When they are full they don't hurt. But that doesn't stop us from being afraid of them and there are definitely good reasons. And experience proves it.
Everyone has their place in nature.
Establish feeding points in wadis. Let them get used to eating there and not on the streets
All over the country, municipalities dump garbage cans
An idiot from Haifa had a genius idea why bury trash if you can buy giant orange trash cans that will block sidewalks for pedestrians and desecrate the whole city. And also fix frog bins with an ugly metal fence around each one so that they too will stand out and block sidewalks.
When the human brain is small and less developed than that of the wild boars who learn to open cans by climbing and fly the lid despite the fixation, then you get the current municipality of Haifa-Kharfa..
November, if they don't bring someone young and serious like Bansher, Haifa will deteriorate to city number 7, the size of the country with a national garbage can of wild pigs, polluting industries and beaches occupied by Hani's city of ants, and every few years huge fires and asphalt that will wipe out Uadit and then also the little The vegetation in neighborhood gardens and traffic circles 'to prevent wild boars'.
This is not a parody or intimidation, this is the reality in Haifa with the cliché 5 years of destruction like the previous ones. wake up people Haifa is really becoming a total loss
came back in a big way. When the municipality only talks about plans and does nothing, the pigs return. Take Mayor Nesher for example. With a small investment of burying all trash cans in the city of Nesher, the pigs disappeared. They came to us and the level of cleanliness in the city is suitable for pigs.
Yoram is right!
Long live the difference between Kalish and Roy
Yesterday in Opira Garden, a clever pig ran wild and most of us ran away
They must have gone to a demonstration
Haifa Municipality will find a solution to the wild boar problem in Haifa. Shalom and blessings to you my friend Nega Carmi. Shalom and blessed Sabbath.
They probably heard about the protests against the reform and decided to help the protest.
It's really strange that pigs are allowed to grow like this and breed and be in Haifa, why don't the local authorities take care of this and find a way to smuggle them out
I prefer pigs that use our waste for their livelihood over parasitic pigs that use, under the protection of the law, everything that is available.
Are you free three times a week to stand in the middle of the road and shout nonsense?
Pigs are absolutely superior.
A detached wild boar mayor
"Yawn" is right! To prove that there are people walking on two who throw garbage to a renovation grocery store because they see it as an opportunity to save a trip to the green container is he the...
I counted 12 small ones..
How many litters are there per year??
P. H. and K. . .
In the background, you can hear the pig breaking down a trash can
Noise of metal cans. Neither good nor handsome
Throw cans in the normal bin instead of the orange bin!!!
Will this be called recycling education?
I wonder about the enlightened residents of Carmel!!!
Are we back at your miserable festival again? Karma hurts a lot
The most failed municipality in Israel
Not just a cliché for the entire municipality.
A recycled article, every day a new photograph of residents is uploaded and the article is returned. what's the point? Wake up the area and the residents for the elections? The residents know that there are pigs everywhere in Haifa. But these are already pigs on the run looking for a grove, not ones that would walk around the sidewalks near storefronts with confidence like a year ago.
We must continue the dilution and increase it in these months.
Around the center of Carmel, trash is dumped on the roads every day.
Will bring diseases, rodents, cockroaches and flies.
There is nothing lovable and nice about wild boars they are a nuisance all over the world.
They are not dangerous
They don't attack
They don't attack anyone
It's all hysterical shaming
A smart intelligent animal and indifferent to the people around him just like the street cats.
They are the ones who suffer aggression and violence from people towards them.
I encounter them quite a bit and approach them carefully, even mothers with puppies and watch them, along with my dog. Never snorted or attacked.
To me they are even beautiful and funny.
It wasn't just that a starling went to a crow
You guys are just crazy. No words.
And also eat the grass, that way there won't be fires when everything dries up.
Next time scream at me loudly at the very beginning so that I will give you the attention you deserve
Now imagine you say that about Bibi voters.
I believe you are capable, if you were able to make such an emotional manifesto about an animal wallowing in its own shit
Please let me know if there is?
This is what it looks like when protecting the rights of dangerous animals and not protecting human life
These are not pigs, these are disguised for Purim. Hahahahaha 😂
They appear in all neighborhoods
I missed them.
There were some who visited us. They nod a little, they snort a little and mostly they glance with their smart eyes and run away.
It will be interesting to look at the new puppies, let's hope that maybe the hysteria will calm down and people will realize that there really is no danger, but there is an opportunity to get a little closer to the little that is left of nature before it disappears completely.
Maybe adopt them in your house, you pig
I don't understand your strange hatred, nor is my ego as fragile as yours to be bothered by being called a pig. But if I were you I would be deeply ashamed and embarrassed to speak in public. Because your ignorance flows from your mean words here in the comments
These pigs of ours are exemplary animals: quiet, family-oriented, vegetarian, creative in solving problems, and generally very peaceful
Their problem is that they are large enough to be intimidating (unfairly) and considered 'ugly' (although now that we've gotten used to them, their ugliness has faded somewhat).
Now, in the calving season, we are witnessing again and again that their parenting also inspires amazement: the mothers and... the fathers.
I learned to love them
You must be from Ukraine or Russia so you are like them
As you are smart
I have a Mitchell fishing rod, I need some piglet for the barbecue
Just open a restaurant
again???!!!! This wave again? What if we thought the mayor did something against the pigs? It was a bit quiet, but apparently the mayoress didn't do anything as usual. Well, what can be said for a long time and a lot of things have not been done here in the city, you just feel that everything is crumbling here in the city as in all of our beautiful and poor country
Start treating them like in America, not one will stay here
Do not feed the pigs
In November also Einat Hatem Kilkolish
The pigs also deserve to enjoy themselves after they were given access to their natural habitats for the benefit of the property tax and a crazy construction without diagnosis, so they went out to look for food in the gardens and squares.
What is the wonder exactly?
I agree with every word. We didn't have pigs in Ramat Sapir until they started building this new neighborhood, Givat Zemar I think. So where the pigs, these poor jackals have to go? Has anyone thought of this?
So what? Won't they build? The population is growing and people need houses
For 10 years every Neve Shaanan has been full of pigs,
A neighborhood from the Ziv center towards the Technion and up through Ramat Remez, Alon to the estate.
The more you call pigs and jackals poor and not human beings, the clearer you are how poor you are
are right Let's build taller for the "expanding" population (literally) instead of destroying more and more green areas. Even so, there is hardly any left.
Animals are also miserable and poor and so are we.
Not only pigs and jackals, but also birds and porcupines and hedgehogs and turtles and many more that are becoming extinct
Cute and pure pigs from nature.
The real pigs are the apartment renters and the real estate people in Garetz and in Haifa. Shame on you
Completely!!!!!
you are right These sweet creatures do no harm to anyone unless provoked. Hysterical parents instill fear in children and they react accordingly when they meet pigs and scare them and then the pigs react to the threat by staring or attacking. The people are very bad
Let them die like in America they pay for each head who needs garbage and diseases I hope you encounter them they will tear you and your family apart if you have any at all..Amen
Cute and pure...turning trash cans, there have already been car accidents with them. My neighbor was injured when a pig ran into him while he was walking the dog (it's true that it wasn't a deliberate attack, but it ended up in a hospital and a recovery period). Their place is in nature and not in the city
And you put it on us.
The tactic is already familiar from vegan protests in the early 2000s, we were not moved.
Where does all this burning and blind hatred in you come from?
Stupid idiot, what's the deal?
Turn on your peanut dish instead of a brain before you write nonsense!
That's exactly the problem.
Do 3-4 months of 'quiet' from this nuisance and then the fear of mothers with puppies begins that makes them aggressive and then it's even more dangerous
We must continue thinning.
Thanks for the location description.
It is important to be careful.
A girl carrying bags was attacked in the area.
These are not pigs, these are disguised for Purim. Hahahahaha 😂
Somehow in all the videos taken up close no one has been hurt yet.
Know that the stress you create (especially for yourself and your family) is much more harmful to your health than an unruly pig.
I think the exact street description of the cute little pigs could have been avoided.
It's too bad, we already understand that the municipality killed and continues to kill some of the pigs, so why lend a hand in such a possible scenario?
The puppies don't harm anyone. Just don't feed them and don't get them used to litter boxes and they will leave the valleys on their own
The problem is the people don't understand that don't feed them because they will come back
They won't eat then...
They will eat what grows in private and public gardens.
See the videos.
I wish they would exterminate them all like in America and all the pigs on two who are interested in this garbage will go and take care of them in the wadiyots ya garbage
Kobe, you are right.
And to the commenter who wishes for an extermination of the animal and human population - we hope you will be the first to receive your heartfelt wishes, because you certainly answer the description.
Nonsense, you live in an illusion!
Enough with the affection for this disgusting animal that multiplies uncontrollably, regardless of the reasons and omissions that caused it.
The population must be diluted, adults and offspring without distinction.
those baby pigs will grow up soon and all they know is this neighborhood, they will never leave.
