German boars still sick, Chernobyl nuclear radiation

This video from Germany says about itself:

What’s cuter than baby orphan boar piglets? Baby orphan boar piglets being raised by a puppy!

When VICE Germany sent us some footage of the Lehnitz animal asylum, we weren’t sure how cute it was going to be. Little did we know, boar piglets live there! These little rascals were found in the woods and love to eat, sleep, play, and hang out with their surrogate mom, who’s a dog. We’re pleased to present Spots, Nesti, Diva, Borstel, Ernie, and Bert!

Translated from DPA news agency in Germany:

Still many boars radioactively contaminated, decades after Chernobyl accident

In some regions of Thuringia meat of wild boar is still contaminated by radioactivity.

Erfurt. 28 years after the nuclear accident at Chernobyl boars are still so contaminated that their meat can not be sold in Thuringia. Last year, according to the Ministry of Health 586 shot animals were examined and in almost every tenth of them the limit of 600 becquerels per kilogram was exceeded. The end of that problem is not in sight, as the cesium content halves only every 30 years, said the head of the department for food inspection, Karin Schindler.
