Camping In The Wild
It is a common pastime for many people to go hiking or camping in autumn. However,
a large number of wild pigs are reported to have 'invaded' Grass Island - a small island off
Sai Kung. There are even reports of wild pigs stealing campers' food on the island. They
have aroused safety concerns for people over encounters with wild animals during their
visits to the countryside.

According to hiking experts, the number of roaming monkeys, stray dogs and wild
pigs is on the increase. In order to search for food, these animals often raid campsites,
steal campers' food supplies, and even topple tents, causing problems for campers.

Jack Lee, a secondary three student who went camping with his friends, had a special
encounter with some wild animals on New Year's Day. They pitched two tents near the
shore. When Jack was resting inside his tent, he heard some strange noises from the other
tent. He jumped up at once and rushed out to see what was happening. He saw that the
other tent had been pushed down by a herd of wild pigs. Some of the wild pigs were
actually eating the food they had stored inside that tent. He and his friends could only
stand aside, helplessly watching the pigs finish their food.

It is unavoidable that hikers and campers will come across wild animals in the
countryside. The most hazardous time is from around sunset till early evening when wild
animals come out to hunt for food. Attracted by the smell of food, these animals may
follow visitors or walk around just for a chance to steal their food. Visitors should avoid
walking in the hills after dark. The government can also do something to prevent wild
animals from disturbing those sleeping in camps. They should put up fences around
campsites so as to prevent wild animals from disturbing those in the camps.
