About a hundred wild boars are stuck on the border of Finland and Russia.

About a hundred wild boars have accumulated on the border of Finland and Russia due to restrictions related to African swine fever. This was reported by the Yle TV and radio company.

According to the head of the Finnish Center for Disease Control, Anna Voyvalin, the natural migration route of animals has been disrupted. The wild boars used to feed in Finland and return to Russia, but now the border is closed due to the risk of spreading the virus.

Strict restrictions apply in the plague zone, and animals are fed so that they do not leave the territory. The authorities fear that the wild boars may move west, and are considering the possibility of building a fence, which will take several months.

The Finnish authorities have squandered taxpayers' money on a useless construction

On August 1, the Finnish border guard service closed the hunting gates in the barrier fence on the border with Russia. The Yle portal also reported that the decision was made due to the outbreak of African swine fever. According to the newspaper, dead piglets of wild boars have recently been found in the border area, which have been diagnosed with the virus. Finnish experts admit that the infection could have come from Russia. The Food Safety Agency has banned hunting, logging and dog walking in the border area.
