‘Feral pigs’ on the loose in national park after being ‘illegally’ set free Rangers are battling to round up a large group of feral pigs thought to have been deliberately released in a national park.
The Cairngorms National Park Authority said it is ‘likely’ the pigs were also illegally released.
Around 20 of the boar have been spotted in woodlands in Cairngorms National Park in Scotland recently.
It comes weeks after four lynx were illegally released in the park last month, one of which died not long after they were recaptured.
A local farmers’ group said it was ‘extremely concerned’ the animals ‘could pose a significant disease risk to livestock, wildlife, and even humans’.
