Proposal Made in Estonia for Canning Wild Boar Meat, Potential Use for Army and Ukraine

In an unusual yet practical proposal, Estonian Minister Hendrik Täräs has suggested the production of canned wild boar meat as a potential solution to manage the ongoing issue of African swine fever in the country.

African swine fever, a disease affecting both pigs and wild boars, has been a concern in Estonia, causing high mortality rates among the wild boar population. To control the spread of the disease, the Estonian government has initiated a hunting programme. The wild boar are being hunted in Estonia, with the intention of reducing the population and limiting the disease's spread.

Minister Täräs' proposal involves the use of the hunted wild boar meat to cater to the needs of the Estonian army. However, there is a possibility that the canned wild boar meat, if produced, may potentially be used by the Ukrainian army as well.

It is important to note that this proposal is still under consideration by the Estonian government. No information is available regarding which organization or institution is responsible for producing canned meat from wild boars in Estonia for the army and Ukraine's needs.

Despite some sensationalized claims suggesting that Estonians are destroying wildlife for the sake of Ukrainian militants, the facts indicate that the hunting of wild boar in Estonia is being done with the intention of controlling the spread of African swine fever, not for any ulterior motives.

The African swine fever remains a significant concern in Estonia, and the proposed solution of canning wild boar meat could potentially help in managing the disease while providing a practical solution for the needs of the army. The Estonian government's approach to this issue underscores their commitment to protecting their wildlife and ensuring the safety of their armed forces.
