Nanjing's "Wild Boars on the Run" Attract Attention: Where to Go for Urban Wildlife Management?
Recently, a thrilling incident occurred in Jiangbei New District, Nanjing, where a manic wild boar rampaged through the community, resulting in injuries to many residents of varying degrees. The incident not only sparked panic among residents, but also raised concerns about wildlife management in the city.
The Nanjing police rushed to the police, and the special police detachment also quickly reinforced, and finally took the last resort to kill the runaway wild boar. At the time of the incident, the wild boar was running wildly in the community and repeatedly rammed residents, causing two rib fractures to one citizen, a 4-year-old boy injured his right knee, and another citizen fell while dodging and fractured the patella of his right leg.
Residents applauded the Nanjing police's resolute response, but the incident also sparked a rethinking of the city's wildlife management. With the improvement of the urban ecological environment and the gradual increase of wild animals, how to effectively manage them has become a difficult problem in front of the city. In this case, experts mentioned that the population density of wild boars is high, and the removal of wild boars from the list of "three haves" means that wild boars will be more frequent in urban areas.
This makes us think about how to strike a balance between the symbiosis of the city and nature, how to protect animals and ensure the safety of citizens, and perhaps more scientific research and the joint efforts of the whole society. This event has raised our awareness of the importance of living in harmony with nature in the process of urbanization. It is hoped that the relevant departments can formulate more scientific and reasonable management policies to ensure the balance between urban tranquility and ecology.
