Rangers in the Cairngorms are searching for a herd of feral pigs suspected to have been illegally released in the national park. The pigs were recently spotted near Uath Lochans, not far from where four lynx were abandoned. The Cairngorms National Park Authority is taking action to trap the animals, condemning the illegal release of animals. There is growing concern about rogue activists attempting to rewild the Highlands, especially after the distressing situation with the illegally released lynx. Feral pigs, though not usually aggressive, can pose risks to local agriculture and wildlife.
A Cairngorms National Park Authority spokesperson stated that the feral pigs spotted are likely to be an illegal release and that they condemn such acts strongly.
It is evident that rogue activists intent on rewilding the Highlands by stealth pose significant concerns, increasing tension among local communities and wildlife authorities.
