A video has emerged on social media regarding an injured Wild Boar spotted in the middle of the busy Kranji Expressway (KJE).
Many vehicles were seen moving pass the injured animal, with some slowing down to avoid when they spotted the injured animal.
Kind hearted soul to the rescue
However, kudos goes to a man who was spotted attending to the animal and eventually getting it to safety.
The man first approached the wild boar and was seen bending over the wild boar, seemingly to assess its condition and see what was going on.
After a few moments, the man gave it some light taps, to try to communicate to the wild boar that it is dangerous being at where it was lying at and to move away from the busy road.
However, the wild boar did not react or move an inch, which prompted the man to think decisively and in a swift moment, carried the wild boar up.
Just as the wild boar was being lifted by the man, a few motorbikes neared them, coming to a stop and narrowly avoided colliding into them.
The wild boar also tried to release itself from the man’s grip as the man was bringing it to safety.
After a few struggles, the man managed to successfully brought it to the road shoulder and heaved a sigh of relief.
Wild boar was injured
The wild boar after getting to safety also tried walking, but its’ hind legs gave way and it fell, seemingly showing that the animal was injured.
As it tried to get into the forested area again, its’ hind legs gave way again.
Man received praises from netizens in the comments section
In the comments section, there were overpouring of praises by netizens for the man who selflessly saved the wild boar.
Here are some of the comments:
- Thank you for your kind heart. I do hope the relevant authority was informed n help rendered.
- Oh no.. looks like the boar is mortally hurt but good job to the samaritan. Brave young chap
