Naew Na Thai Caption: Home needed for Wild Boar who ransacked trash at Pattaya condo

 

Naew Na reported that a municipal authority vet in Pattaya reacted after reports that a wild boar was on the loose on the mean streets of Pattaya.

 

Phaisit Masaeng and his team hotfooted it to Soi Arunothai in Moo 9.

 

The boar was wandering about and had rummaged through rubbish at a condo looking for food.

 

Then it toddled off down the soi. Locals were worried for their and tourists' safety.

The veterinary team tried to lasso the "moo pa" without success.

 

So they shot it.

Thankfully with a tranquilizer dart.

 

Now the authorities are waiting for 3 days for an owner to turn up before they decide what to do next.

I think they mean "a person who owns it", rather than "someone who wants to own it". 

 

It's a wild boar, not a pet.

Plenty of spicy nam jim sauce and cold beers to go with it. Where can I send the GF to claim the hog? ????

Wild boars do not have owners only salivating hungry poor people.

Exactly.....  A wild animal to me means it has no owner.

Or one that is not happy with its present one.

We had one turn up near us here in Samui a couple of years ago. God knows where it came from.

People used to feed her. Then she had piglets. She would lay by the side of the road suckling them, and as they got older, used to take them to a lady who fed them. She could actually hand feed them.

 

Became a bit of a tourist attraction to see her wandering around followed by her babies. They were around for months.

 

Gradually, one by one they disappeared. Taken my Myanmar workers apparently, until only mother and one almost fully grown female was left.

Then mother disappeared and the young, by now fully grown female stayed in the same area, and used to approach the same lady for food, or bust open trash bags.

She then disappeared. I was told she died from a pig virus.
