An unfortunate news came from Yichun City, Heilongjiang, that when local villagers and their wives were collecting soybeans in their fields, they encountered a large wild boar weighing more than 400 kilograms and came straight to the man.
According to the man, in the instant that the wild boar ran over, he was also blinded, did not know how to hide, and had nowhere to hide, and was eventually injured by the wild boar with arch belts, including injuries from the legs to the knees, from the front chest to the back, and there was a hole in the back that was poked by the fangs of the wild boar.
In recent years, as the number of wild boars has increased, people in some places are facing the threat of wild boars.
Just some time ago, the old man in Yangjiayuan Village, Zhongyan Township, Qingfeng Town, Fangxian County, was attacked by more than 200 pounds of wild boar, according to the old man, the wild boar not only bit her legs, stomach, where to bite, but also tore her clothes, biting her from the road to the roadside vegetable field, and then dragged from the vegetable field to the small river next to it.
Later, the old man found that the wild boar bit his coat and did not let go, and took off his coat in a hurry, and at this time, two dogs that did not know where to run bit the hind legs of the wild boar, so the old man got out of trouble, and the old man after getting out of trouble walked in the direction of someone, just walked 200 meters to meet the villagers, and the villagers helped to send them to the hospital.
According to the villagers, when they found her, they only saw that she was covered in blood, like a "blood person". Fortunately, the doctor was timely to save his life, but he still removed some of the liver, gallbladder and other organs.

In addition to the injuries of wild boars, the frequent appearance of wild boars in recent years has also brought certain losses to local agricultural production.
According to local villagers, the locals will grow corn, millet and other crops, and many chestnuts are also planted on the mountains around the reservoir, but these are all wild boars like food, and the wild boars wandering nearby will take advantage of the night to break into the farmland, they not only eat corn, but also arch corn stalks, and the farmland that has been wasted by wild boars is basically harvested.
In some mountainous areas of Yongjia County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, wild boars are also frequently encountered, and the sweet potato seedlings planted by one family are deliberately reserved for use, and the result is also wasted by wild boars. According to locals, almost every family's farmland has been damaged by wild boars, resulting in a reduction in grain production or even a loss of harvest.
The increase in the number of wild boars is related to our animal protection strategy. Although there is no risk of extinction of wild boars for the time being, China lists them as "three protected animals" and prohibits random hunting.
Secondly, the breeding speed of wild boars is relatively fast, and wild boars at the peak of reproduction can give birth to two litters per year, 4-12 per litter.
In addition, wild boars are omnivores, whether crops or animals, they like to eat, if there are no local scavengers, they will also feed on carrion, acting as "scavengers in nature". Their more complex feeding habits make them very adaptable to the environment, so that the survival rate is very high.
More importantly, most of the natural enemies of wild boars are in a slump, and although tigers, leopards, wolves, jackals and bears will feed on wild boars, most of them are scarce and have disappeared in many places, so that "there are no tigers in the mountains, and wild boars become overlords."
Although the number of wild boars is increasing, wild boars still belong to the three protected animals, and the reason why they are protected is actually because they are key species in the ecological chain.
First of all, the reproductive ability of wild boars is very strong, and wild boar pups are the food of many carnivores, which means that if you want to protect carnivores, you must first protect their food, and as the number of wild boars recovers, the number of wild carnivores will slowly recover.
Secondly, if the hunting of wild boars is allowed, it is possible to encounter retaliatory hunting by people, resulting in a decrease in the number of wild boars. Moreover, open-ended hunting will also cause some hunters to hunt other wild animals in the process of hunting wild boars.
Of course, in view of the problem of wild boar flooding in some areas, injuring people and destroying fields, some areas have allowed conditional hunting.

This year, many places in China have begun to hunt wild boars in an orderly manner, but there are also corresponding conditions for hunting wild boars.
The first is that local government agencies assess the number of local wild boar populations and formulate an annual plan for the number of wild boars to be hunted, for example: this year's wild boar number is large, allowing the hunting of 300 wild boars.
Secondly, the means of hunting are limited, and indiscriminate hunting methods cannot be used, such as: poisoning, prey clips, etc., in order to prevent harm to the surrounding animals. Hunters need to hunt with "two certificates" (hunting license, gun license) and formulate a hunting work plan.
In addition, the sale of hunted wild boar meat is not allowed in some areas because the living environment of wild boar is uncontrollable, and wild boar meat has not been quarantined by the quarantine department, and once it carries infectious diseases, the consequences are immeasurable.
In addition to allowing the hunting of wild boars, many places have also joined forces with insurance departments to compensate for the farmland destroyed by wild boars, and the problem of wild boars is beginning to be taken seriously.
Of course, in the place where wild boars frequently appear, we must also avoid conflicts with wild boars, if we encounter boars in estrus, or sows with calves, we must pay attention to avoidance and slowly retreat backwards.
