The city of Takeo in Saga Prefecture recently began a campaign to eliminate wild boar from the city as a harmful animal, setting up a municipal department for that purpose in April. Rather than dispose of the meat, however, they are trying to turn it into a special product. Merchants in the city have begun processing the meat and selling it locally in the form of sausage and bacon. The price for both products is 1,000 yen for 200 grams. They also plan to turn it into hamburger and sliced lunchmeat in the future.
