boaring !!!

by John - 15:55 on 26 May 2012

It was with interest that I read of some (very) local news ...

Apparently wild boar are rampaging through the Highlands and threatening farmers’ crops. The pigs are breeding on the outskirts of Inverness and are being accused of causing havoc to crops and land in the Strathnairn, Cawdor and Nairn areas near Inverness.

Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) has issued an appeal urging members of the public to contact them about sightings in a bid to build up a picture of how serious the problem is in the region
Iain Hope SNH's wildlife management officer said:- “We are keen to find out how many of these pigs are living in the wild."

Local councillor Roddy Balfour said “it was unlikely the pigs would be a threat to people’s safety, but that people might feel uncomfortable being close to them.
People are not going to enjoy their barbecues when there is a boar circling the garden fence.”

- - - tell you what though, if you manage to get hold of one of these little piggies and cook it on your barbie - it will be the most delicious barbie you have ever tasted!
