イノシシに出会っても慌てずに Be Calm If You Encounter Wild Boars In recent years, the population of wild boars is increasing in Inzai City, and the habitat is expanding. Cowardly wild boars hardly go near human beings but excited wild boars will attack us. If you unfortunately encounter wild boars, you should take action as follows. Leave there calmly without turning your back on wild boars. Any action such as shouting and running with turning your back on wild boars will stimulate wild boars. If you find it difficult to leave there, secure safety by hiding yourself and wait for them to leave there. Do not attack/threaten wild boars. Any attack/threat will cause wild boars’ frenzy, which will raise you the risk of violence. Therefore, do not absolutely attack/threaten wild boars. ■Never give any food to wild boars If you give any food to wild boars, they will become fearless of human beings and then begin haunting residential areas. Please never do give any food to wild boars. Inquiry: Birds and Beasts Damage Measures Group, Environment Safeguard Division, Choju-Higai-Taisaku-gakari, Kankyo-Hozen-ka (TEL: 33-4439)
