Start culling them they destroy crops and environments and breed like crazy.
Ruokavirasto (Finnish Food Authority) literally gives you money if you kill those bastards and send a sample. The boars are spreading [African swine fever virus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus), which is considered a very bad thing indeed.
I honestly didn’t know boars were roaming around like this. TIL.
Why arent these on the menu anywhere in Helsinki yet?
Not a piece of litter in sight.

Kill them all
Man… And no shots taken. What a waste.
I’m just a dumb American and know very little of Finland short of what my Finnish grandmother told me so please forgive my ignorance for my questions.
Is hunting not common in Finland? I ask because here in northern Michigan hunting season is practically a holiday and I’d love to get my hands on one of those!
Do you have to pay to hunt boar there or is it such a menace it’s open season?
Wild bacon
Irresponsible pigs.
Ahh so Finland is part of The Zone, time to find Sidorovich!
Why do boars always seem like they’re in a rush to get somewhere?
That last one looks delicious
Never seen them. Are those dangerous, i mean are they generally scared of people or may charge?
So much stupid comments and stupid people. Go buy a shibaflokiinu coin or something…
I tried boar meat in Poland and honestly it was the most delicious, succulent meat I’ve ever tried.
There’s always the last one, isn’t there?
”ventatkaa ny vähän hei”
I lived in Sipoo😌
Where’s that pack of wolves when you need them
Sissien epäonnistunut tienylitys
Step on the gas!!!
As a hunter, this makes me super excited…..but also seeing how this went in the US, its fucking scary
Just to put it into perspective, a female can have 3 litters of piglets a year. A healthy sow will have at least 10 (i counted 12 here) and they reach sexual maturity at 6 months old.
Let’s say half of these are females, 6 new females producing 10 piglets, 3 times a year = 180 new pigs a year and so on and so on
I mean fuck, they hunt these with helicopters and machine guns in Texas and they are still not close to culling them
I feel I have seen this in a Ghibli movie.
Very cool encounter
As a Greek person living here, this is the first time the coexistence of nature and human doesn’t feel particularly special. Drifts of boars have been roaming big Greek cities for several years.

But where is Obelix?

40€ to a hunter who sends a sample from a boar.
60€ for a female pig sample with an intact uterus.
100€ if you find one dead from a car crash or similar.
[Here’s the link](https://www.ruokavirasto.fi/laboratoriopalvelut/elaintautitutkimukset/naytteenotto-ohjeet/villisika/) for the bounties, but it’s in Finnish, couldn’t find an English one.
SHOOT!!
