(haipo) - Cases of injury to Haifa residents in encounters with wild boars continue. This time a two-year-old toddler was injured, when a herd of pigs surrounded the family and her father stumbled in his escape. Now the eyes are on Yona Yahav, the elected mayor, in order to restore security to the streets of the city.
Yelena, the girl's mother tells Live Here:
The injury occurred on Friday, 14/3/24, at 8 Brenner Street, in the Ramot Ramez neighborhood in Haifa.
We parked and walked on the way home from the parking lot. Suddenly, a family of pigs with puppies came out of the bushes and ran in our direction. The pigs literally surrounded us and the pig took care of the puppies.
Vitali, N.'s father, held the toddler in his arms. When the herd of pigs rushed towards us and the pigs literally surrounded us, he tried to escape them, but fell on the pavement during the attempt.
The toddler, n. Asher was in her father's arms, injured by the fall and broke her leg - a complex fracture, in the calf, near the knee. The family evacuated to Carmel Hospital, where the toddler underwent an X-ray and immobilization in a cast. Currently, the doctors have decided that no surgery is required to fuse the fracture, but follow-up will be required, for at least 4 years, due to the complexity of the fracture.
If he receives food once from the hands of a human, he is conditioned forever to take food from humans, because they are seen as a source of nourishment without the need for confrontation, effort or risk.
From the moment he gets to know his new source of nourishment, be it a stupid woman who leaves cat food for him near a trash can or in general any urban area with a concentration of humans - he will never again go looking for food where effort or risk is required
Nature is simple, everything is operant conditioning.
Condolences to all the unconnected who make the mistake of trying to explain reality to their sophisticated and subjective human perception,
The pig will attack you too because it does not differentiate between a responder and a responder.
And there are still residents in Haifa who think it's perfectly fine for wild boars to live in the built-up urban space and lose all aversion to humans. In the opinion of these "those who understand the matter" it is only necessary to "educate the residents and their children not to be afraid of pigs and nothing bad will happen to them". Walking with a dog in the street or with a shopping basket from the supermarket....
There is something to be done to eliminate the plague of pigs in Haifa, just as we have done in our neighboring cities with great success!
Articles about pigs like mushrooms after the rain...
Looking for culprits?
Accept the member of the opposition council that decided to prevent fencing budgets because it would have solved the problem and would have presented the mayor in a positive light...
Maybe in your opinion we will also fence the sidewalks and streets? By the way, Kalish and Nachshon Tzuk did everything to ensure that the budget that was approved by the city council for the issue of yard fencing, would not reach those who are interested in it in the end.... Even the publication about it on the municipality's website was intentionally hidden and those who had already started filling out the application form found out that very quickly it reached a dead end.... !
The only way to respond to someone who responded to me is to respond to myself.
"in my opinion"
1) Yaron, if you are a mind reader, I suggest you stop commenting here on the internet and go make millions
2) I did not write about the budgeting of fences for these gardens about the fencing of access roads for the pigs, something that the communal council prevented and it's a shame
3) It is implied from your post that you are in favor of killing all/most pigs, if indeed that is the case, this is also an opinion, but there is a large part of the public that is not interested in their indiscriminate killing.
4) I am not against the killing of a part of the invading pig population, but between shooting every pig and treating them as sacred sacrifices in India there is a wide range of solutions that enable a life in coexistence that will be good for both us and the rest of the wild boars' output
Health for the family, the father and the girl Rerash Ha'ir only officially entered the hall this week. He will do everything to pacify the residents. Just a little more patience.
Good morning to the citizens of Haifa indeed the scourge of swine is severe, dangerous and dangerous, but to the sorrow of my heart whoever causes the dire phenomenon in Mishrah. If the citizens who throw garbage not in bins and try to give them food in public places and more importantly there is simply no enforcement on the issue for example in the Shaar Aliya neighborhood especially and in Schlossberg where there is a facility that concentrates the garbage from most of Saadia Paz Street, the garbage bags are sometimes thrown outside the bin, I would expect the city of Haifa to place a camera and increased enforcement In order to thoroughly eradicate the untried and dangerous situation, it should be noted that there were wild boar attacks in the area, but for some reason they were not made headlines like in Carmel.
The pigs are good on a plate
So I read people's comments here and as usual there is one who blames the person and not the animal.
So the pigs didn't attack, right, the parents got scared. But the parents were frightened because the pigs emerged in a herd from the sheds and surrounded the family, each one would get stressed and start to run away. Blaming the father for the girl's injury is really stupid because what choice did he have? Wait and see if the pigs will attack or leave?
The pigs would attack, unfortunately it happens quite often that pigs also attack in the city. And it's not always because of the person.
Personally, I had to run away from pigs in the city twice because they chased me and no, I have not done anything to pigs before.
There are simply pigs that are not so nice. It's good that Yona Yahav returned to the municipality only because of the pigs.
You can't blame Yahav for not doing anything because he hasn't taken office yet. Whoever ran the city for the last 5 years was a cliché and her change in the issue of pigs in the city was to stop the killing of pigs that invade the city again and again and it reached the level where there are too many wild pigs that reach the neighborhoods. If in the past we would rarely see a pig or two in the forest areas, today you can see them deep in the neighborhoods almost every day. So all the self-righteous people who say we have no right to kill pigs are wrong in a big way.
Although it is terrible that the pigs are being thinned out, in the end it destroyed the security of the residents. And beyond that, there will always be those who would be happy to eat this meat as well, the thinning is not for nothing and not the fluff of cruelty or evil! The dilution saves us.
And soon Yahav will be back in office and will restore the thinning of the wild boars so that we can go back and walk around the neighborhoods safely.
If once the thing that scared me the most on the street at night were potential criminals who were walking the streets, today it is also the pigs.
It could be that the adult sows were guarding the little ones and felt threatened by the family. Or smelled food in the bags. They didn't attack, they just surrounded the puppies to protect them.
Reasons really don't play a role when a family is afraid to travel lest they be harmed by wild animals.
The city was meant for humans and it doesn't matter now that we have robbed them of their living spaces. What has been done must not be undone, destroy the residents' houses in order to bring the areas back to life.
We need to quickly find a solution to a problem that has always existed and was handled wisely. Compared to the last five years when the problem was aggravated due to poor treatment or lack of proper treatment.
The girl was injured because of her father, she was not attacked by the pigs.
If her father had kept his cool and not gone hysterical and run away in a panic, nothing would have happened.
Full recovery to all!
You defend terribly in panic and hysteria... Did you report to anyone? you need help?
First of all, a complete cure for the girl!! The situation regarding the attack of the pigs in Haifa is serious and dangerous. The pigs do whatever they want in Haifa. Saadia Paz Garbage is also thrown in the gardens and sometimes from the windows. I appeal to the municipal inspectorate to enforce the issue in a strict manner in order to teach the lawbreakers who do not throw garbage in the bin a lesson perhaps through the pocket!!! By the way the place is infested with dozens of pigs and recently also jackals which alone are a danger to the citizens!!
We must put an end to the problem. Those horrible pigs
Did you want Yahav? We stayed in the mud
Dilution yes, combined treatment yes, but Tzvanzik stories no!!!
A trending article (for the second time) on the subject of refunds
Yes, it's scary, yes, it's problematic because panic can cause accidents like this and the one in the previous article... and therefore must be treated including dilution (yes. intentional killing but controlled according to clear criteria)
But the pigs do not circle with the aim of attacking as told
(And if there is documentation about the form of the attack that is told that they will kill all the pigs in Haifa and in the world in general....)
Even in the previous article, the lady was alarmed
When they run they simply run away from fear unless they feel attacked...
Health to the cute baby ❤️
In my opinion, until people are physically harmed
In the hands of these pigs, they will not be kept out of town.
Like a horror movie.
What exactly are you waiting for?
A new/old mayor arrived at the hall.
The city manager is also sleeping. So what for there
Problem number 1 has not yet been resolved
An article about a baby girl who has already been injured and you respond to her that until people are physically harmed he will not do anything.
We don't have enough of you in town
