On Friday's Backchat: wild pigs and the Hong Kong cyclothon.
Government officials captured and later put down seven wild boars on Wednesday evening, in line with a change of policy on controlling the animals in urban areas.
Officers from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department were seen using bread to lure wild boars out of the woods in Aberdeen. The operation drew criticism from animal welfare groups, but the government said the tactic was adopted to make sure everyone was safe.
What do you think? What’s the most effective way to manage the wild pig population?
From 9:15am, we’re looking at the return of Hong Kong Cyclothon, which is set to be back in January.
