The wild pigs are attacking again!

The pigs are back. After a few months of absence, the pigs are back in full force. All around our plot are fresh signs that they are very active and one night the scream of a pig that go 7000 V (!) jolt from the electric fence woke us up. Our neighbors garden is partly damaged and the small road leading up to our plot is now impassable for vehicles with normal ground clearance. It is amazing that this kind of destruction can go on without the "authorities" taking it more seriously than they do. Farmers are losing millions of Swedish crones due to damaged harvests as well as machinery. In the nearest village, Alsjöholm, several gardens have now been more or less destroyed by the pigs.


The height and seriousness of the damaged is difficult to catch in a photo but I can assure you that you now need a 4WD or larger vehicle to use this road!
