A large wild boar does fall into a cage trap

The control of wild suids has become an essential initiative to protect the balance of fauna and flora in natural environments around the world. In addition, in crop fields and vegetable gardens, this becomes more acute because of the need to reduce the populations of an animal whose presence has soared and, with it, the damage it causes.

Cage traps have established themselves as very effective tools for capturing wild boars in places where hunting controls cannot keep up with the increasingly complicated task of reducing the number of specimens. Once they feel captured, these dangerous animals show how furious they can become by biting the bars and grunting with chilling sounds.

Pig brig, or the art of capturing dozens of wild boars

There are everything from small traps, like the one we have just seen, which is triggered when one or a few specimens enter it and touch the bait placed at the opposite end from the door, to huge devices called pig brig capable of capturing more than 40 animals at the same time, as we have reported on this website.
