John Stowers, South West Liaison Officer with the Deer Initiative, told the North Devon Journal that in the nearby Forest of Dean wild pigs are responsible for more vehicular collisions than deer.According to the North Devon Journal these wild pigs are the result of boars escaping or being deliberately released, and can carry diseases such as swine fever and bovine TB. A culling is planned for the Forest of Dean but it is believed that the pigs have already spread to other areas, the Telegraph reports. BF A Geiger counter for your kitchen?
