SINGAPORE - When she was attacked by a wild boar on her way home, her first thought was not one of fear but of concern for the animal, for she knew that it will be put down for the attack.
Ms Sri Devi said that despite her older sister suffering from multiple wounds and cuts on her right calf, buttock and arm, the older Devi still felt saddened at the thought that the wild boar would be euthanised, as she is an animal lover. The National Parks Board said that it was alerted to the incident early Tuesday morning, and has since been in touch with the woman’s family. The wild boar was found lying by the roadside by NParks employees, and, according to NParks’ wildlife vet, suffered from two broken hind legs.Ms Sri Devi said that her older sister has since undergone four surgeries, and suffers from a ruptured vein in her right arm, as well as deep cuts in her calf.
Dr Adrian Loo, group director of wildlife management at NParks, said that the board adopts a community and science-based approach to managing wild boar encounters. This includes modifying the wild boars’ habitats, conducting studies, managing their movement, relocation, and culling. MP for Bukit Panjang Liang Eng Hwa told The Straits Times that he visited the victim’s family on Wednesday night, and will keep reaching out to the family to render assistance.
