The government of Nepal has once again declared wild boars as agriculturally harmful animals.

Issuing a notice on Monday, the Ministry of Forest and Environment stated that if wild boars are seen harming and damaging the field, anyone can chase and kill it without permission of the authorities with some conditions.

It doesn’t include small breed boars. However, it is prohibited to kill, catch or chase such animals by entering parks or reserves and forest areas. 

If the boar is caught, it will be handed over to the relevant authority–relevant national park, hunting reserve, wildlife reserve or forest office. And if the boar dies, it will be buried in the presence of ward representatives and some locals with some amount to be deposited in the revenue account according to its weight and will be used within a ward (except for commercial purposes), reads the notice.
