More on wild boar problem in Himachal.

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

So mass killing of animals is okay but selective hunting is BAD :evil: :evil:
The Samiti, which has been demanding scientific culling of selected species, claims that 2319 out of the total 3,200 panchayats in the state have been affected by the problem and every year crops worth over Rs 400 crore were being destroyed.
400 Crores a year... :shock:

Inder,

If only someone could convince the chowderheads in Delhi that India could gain immense foreign exchange by selling just a few wild boar hunts a year! The Pakistanis have realised this and they have started tying up with several foreign companies to sell boar hunts under the strict monitoring of the WWF like they have done their sheep hunts for many years.

Sadly, PArliament and the various government offices are places where common sense is very uncommon... :evil:
