Wild boars multiply because there is no tiger in both Koreas.

I'm surprised that there are any feral animals in North Korea to begin with! You'd think that the starving people would be hunting them down... Or maybe the boars (which have a reputation for being pretty smart) have simply migrated southward due to hunting pressures, as well as a lack of food...

That was a joke about how there's hardly any wildlife in Korea because the Korean tigers would eat them all.They have a facination with tigers,but like you said,there isn't any.

No problem!

Wild Boar is delicious as the main meat in meals. It makes superb sausage and meat loaf.

Wild Boar bacon and ham are superb.

One needs to remember that Wild Boar are the orginal heirloom pigs/hogs.

It is a safe bet that Wild Boar are as scarce as dogs and cats in N Korea.

Shoot them, butcher them and enjoy eating them.

Incredible. Chosan is clearly a much wealthier place than when I lived there as a lad - because pork on the hoof would not have made it 10 feet through south gate market, before it became sausage...
