Town near Barcelona uses wolf urine to keep wild boar away

Lack of rain may be forcing animals to seek food from rubbish bins in Aiguafreda

A small town outside Barcelona is using wolf urine to deter wild boar that have been coming in from the surrounding countryside.

After trying a variety of deterrents, the town council of Aiguafreda has agreed, in association with the local hunters' association, to see if the smell of the pheromones of the wild pigs' principal predator will keep them at bay.
