Guys an image for you unprocessed,The photographer in the image is not important ,the framing is delib.
I have one goal here,if it's you in that image my goal is not to trash ya,my goal is simply to use this image to try and help those little guys you are feeding
.Lets not turn this in to a witch hunt guys that ain't my way,if someone doesn't know they don't know,simple as, I could have spoken to the guy I guess I'm trying to say "hang on a min bro think a while" to more than one guy and his lady,
ironically with an image unprocessed not even thought about that side,!! I just didn't want to id the guy so framed carefully I'm trying to use the fact of it as a a tool to help some pigs
I'm sort of hoping that this pic and the story that follows of these actual piggies will do slightly more than educating one tog if nowt else it will graphically illustrate the implications of feeding boar right besides a road!!
A road I might add with signs telling of the recent human fatalities in graphic numbers,to try to get folks to just think and slow.
A few days back we went to the dean found a group of young piggies I'd been told about, 5 in all bless 'em two a bit bigger three a bit smaller,all kids.,heres the rub ALL KIDS.
I spent the late afternoon wishing for things not possible in blighty, ya know the golden hour,not the grey one. while trying to work out this camera lark,
Ahh the joy of it guys, pretty tame little piggies,But really deep inside me, my guts are turning
When two plonked down for a nap I was in heaven only as we drove home did it become really clear to me,I shouldn't have had that chance !!
We went back again, we adore the dean caught, up with them again, spent most of the day tracking 'em.
I don't like standing in the road saying go on kill me or slow down,but sometimes when folks make what should be wild tame, the consequences are not just a guy trying to slow some traffic so the kids are ok
Sometimes, these actions such as feeding, that are attracting these amazing animals, have much bigger consequnces for the boar not us the boar!! Some human might well die as well it's on the cards,
You'll note two groups of kids as one, two groups of kids making the best of it by joining together.............WHY??
Because their mums are probably dead, my old lass I showed you an image of recently also probably dead. Now, haven't cold hard facts, bar the fact I can prove people are feeding these guys right next to, yards from, a fast moving road........
What I can share is what the locals are telling me,same story over and over. not once separate incidents repeated
Yeah being poached stu,the photgraphers or joe public feed 'em get 'em to come to the roads, then the poachers turn up with cross bows late in the small hours and lamp 'em, If they were wild and in the woods ,folks that wanted to would see 'em but their would NOT be this carnage going on, Not to mention as an aside ...are they........... the authorities culling this animal at the right time of year??................
I an..no expert guys, kids with no mums that ain't right I know that much !!
We tracked em this day hours with 'em when I snapped this. The Biggest don't much like the rest of his new surrogate family,but if you all, all of you, could have heard him screaming when he thought he had lost them his frantic running all ways,man that is some haunting s*** I mean that guys . Sure i'm a soft old git,but we could feel how upset he was,even though once with them he really wanted to beat them up, seeing how traumatised he was was .when he thought he was alone was deeply horrible
Go see the boar they are amazing,don't let ya bloody kids give em haribo sweets don't feed them full stop !!
You are helping make orphans, kids growing up with no mums is very very wrong.
NO way, should I be making images of two kids sleeping
with NO MUM making me beyond stupidly cautious
While we are musing what might help them,doggy dogs, man I love dogs,
To a boar this is your domesticated form of an amimal called a wolf (it is actually exacatly that a man made wolf
One predator a boar really fears,it will take her kids. So to mrs piggy she doesn't want your dog however much I love, him anywhere near,she thinks he's going to kill her babies,she will defend them!!
Having watched a boar really turn it on to attack a dog,thank god for the fence. I'd back away on the slightest sniff of a boar, The incident we watched was said to be an old lady boar her first thirty yards would make Usane Bolt look like a snail
This is base hard core common sense,i'm trying not to be angry or patronising just spell out the ramifactions of a reality
I guess I could be ranting but ,because we live in a world where folks don't know anything about the woods or nature,and we need all humans to love and cherrish her. To see a boar back here that has more right than most of us ,is something i'd wish for all,
But keep 'em wild for them
other wise
other folks
will kill mums and leave little folks wondering the woods on their own
They don't need your food they need your respect
Boar will always provoke strong feelings without a predator infrastructure here ie wolves linx ect and even more controversy, I think culls will always be inevitable,but feeding these guys isn't being kind yeah I know they enjoyed it it was cold that night
but having a big fat mummy boar would keep them warmer!!
Sorry this is long winded, if I get to a couple of three folks that see these kids,it will be worth it
don't feed em
no dogs
shoot straight
get ya iso up
