It sounds like the plot of a B-movie, yet it’s bizarrely true: Radioactive boars are on the loose and thriving in Germany’s forests.

A succession of mild winters has left Germany scrambling to deal with a skyrocketing wild . population. Tales of swarming beasts rampaging through city streets and attacking citizens occur with alarming regularity.

The problem has been aggravated by the lingering effects of the Chernobyl disaster from twenty-five years ago; a large portion of the wild animals are contaminated by radioactivity.

Thats wild who would have ever thought something like that possible.

That is crazy!!!!!!! That's alot of hogs getting killed that can't be ate.

Sounds like they are already "cooked."

I find it hard to believe that a pig could live with a posionious level of radiation in it. A pig is almost identical to human as far a tolerances for stuff like this. I it is high enough to hurt us it would be killing the pig through its liver, kidneys, etc. I think I'll snoop some more on this one.

update the rest of the article....
just as I thought the hogs DON'T pose any threat if eaten. at the highest contamination levels in the rare case it is about lick getting several dental x-rays or a ct scan. read the whole article here "http://depletedcranium.com/radioactive-hogs-on-the-loose-in-germany/"
the levels are within norms for US
I think that someone found a quick way to make a few extra bucks from the government, as they have to buy them.
