Hundreds of radioactive 1 boars are roaming 2 the towns of Fukushima. These towns were abandoned 3 after the nuclear power plant meltdown in 2011. The Japanese government will allow residents 4 to return to their homes in some towns this year. However, officials worry that the wild boars will attack people when they try to come back. Over the six years, the boars have lost their fear of humans. Some are even living in abandoned homes.
Hunters have been hired to kill the boars. So far around 800 have been killed. Boar meat is a popular dish in Japan. However, the meat of these boars is too dangerous to eat. In fact, it is 300 times over the safe limit. Disposing 5 of the dead boars is very problematic; there are very few facilities to handle them.
Now, there are many wild animals in the area. There are reports of large populations of wild dogs and rats, as well.
