An entire family of wild boars was run over in Modi'in

The residents of Modiin woke up today to difficult sights, road 431 covered in blood.

A whole family of wild boars was run over.

A whole family of wild boars was run over this evening, pups were dismembered and mutilated corpses were scattered across road 431.

Hundreds of residents cried out in the Facebook groups about the injustice done to these animals, in pain and anger and yet, no one has spoken about responsibility.

Did you know that in Israel each year, there are more than 2500 cases of wild animals being runover, according to a report by the Nature and Parks Authority? These are only the reported cases. In reality, there are more than 2500 victims. For every mother that is run over, her puppies most likely will die of hunger.

Tens of thousands of wild animals are killed by vehicle-animal collisions while our nature is disappearing before our eyes.

Outside of Israel, other countries have already taken action many years ago. Countries like Germany and the Netherlands make sure that animals cross safely and survive. As part of the comprehensive continuous national plan, they built for the animals, passages that connect the habitats for different types of wildlife.

The world proves that things can be different. The work to make these changes already started in our country about two decades ago. Today with the help of the government, a plan to reconnect habitats can be put into action. Safe Animal Crossings is aware of the full mapping of the required crossings, which was completed by the Nature and Parks Authority and aspires to make progress through different available means to create them.
