The Seoul Metropolitan Government said yesterday that the wild boar killed in the city on Friday will be stuffed and displayed at Gildong Ecology Park in Gangdong-gu, Seoul in about 40 days.
“Wild boars are rarely seen in the city and the animal will have educational value,” a city official said. The four-year old boar weighed 130 kilograms (287 pounds) and was 160 centimeters (5 feet, 3 inches) long.
The animal injured two people and eluded hunting dogs, 90 patrolmen with anesthetic guns and professional hunters before being surrounded nearly 12 hours after it was first spotted. Even then, the hunters were unable to control the beast without lethal force. |
