Radiation can do some strange things to animals ...

I for one welcome our new radioactive wild boar overlords.

[Tucker39]

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

[sionnsar]

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.

[RichInOC]

Are radioactive boars good eatin’?

[GnuHere]

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

[tubebender]

Cool... hunting glow in the dark pigs at night without spotlights...

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.

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.

Another great rock and roll band name: The Radioactive Wild Boars.

[AndyJackson]

Apparently the nuclear contamination is still detectable in some animals

This 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.

The fewer rads in my BBQ the better.

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.

When I was stationed in Germany(59-62)wild boars were a problem in some areas when we were in the field. Hoenfels was one of them. Lots of the critters around and they would bother you at night if you were sleeping on the ground. They weren’t radioactive at the time:)
