Radiation can do some strange things to animals ...

I for one welcome our new radioactive wild boar overlords.

Might make for interesting night-hunting. Do they glow in the dark?

Better a radioactive wild boar than an unscintillating crashing bore like Dear Reader.

This is hystrionic tabloid baloney. Radioactive meat from 25 years ago? I don't think so. In any case, we have an epidemic of wild boars right here in the US, starting in the south and spreading north and west, and they're tough customers, without any "radioactivity" turning them into sci-fi monsters.

Are radioactive boars good eatin’?

Wow, and I thought feral pigs invading the Midwest was a problem, but they don’t glow in the dark or anything...

Years ago while training at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, an instructor told us of a worker that set alarms off on some radiacs on the day he returned from vacation. Rather than finding him externally contaminated, the contamination was internal. It discovered that his vacation was a hunting trip in Canada, and the deer meat he had been eating had isotopes traced to Chernobyl. He ate the rest of the meat anyway.

Yes, but don't hit them in the wrong spot.

We have plenty, can we export them?
To: DogByte6RER
They've found a concoction called Giese salt that supposedly causes wild boar to excrete radioactive substances after the animals have ingested the salt.Great. Radioactive pig poop.

"In the last couple of years, wild boar have rapidly multiplied," So much for the theory that radiation impairs fertility.

Oregon export grain is required to be tested for radioactive particles because it is in the range of the Chernobyl fallout plume. Radioactivity goes beyond 25 years.
Half life of strontium-90 is 28 years, cesium 137 is 30 years.

Apparently the nuclear contamination is still detectable in some animalsThis is so uninformative. The difference between what is detectable and what is actually harmful is about ten orders of magnitude. Idiot press following idiot environmentalists following fear mongering soot loving anti-nukes.

I would imagine the kind of Chernobyl fallout would contaminate the ground for ages. Far beyond 25 years anyway. Any animal that eats any plant matter grown there - corn, hay, grains etc, is going to show some exposure.
Ever seen photos from Pripyat? Eerie.

There has to be a movie in this somewhere.
If they can do it for ants and rabbits, imagine what happens when they start out with something already scary.
