Overview
- Residents shared viral videos showing several wild pigs moving in a group through a private Nordelta neighborhood and damaging plants and trash.
- Neighbors filed complaints and said the animals are not typical of the area, with some suggesting a possible link to recent soil and tree removal for new developments, a claim not independently verified.
- The pig sightings coincided with multi-agency operations to capture and relocate capybaras, which have divided opinion among residents.
- Police, private security, civil defense agents, and provincial agrarian ministry staff installed trap cages to move capybaras to a private nature reserve.
- The relocation work began Monday at the request of the Nordelta neighborhood association, following a precautionary appeals court injunction that had previously affected the measure.
