This past Wednesday at around 5:30 p.m., several residents found a dead wild boar next to the Segura River as it passes through Cieza, on the right bank and in front of the Paseo Ribereño, a little below the Alambre Bridge.
Civil Protection members present in the area posted a sign warning no one to approach the animal, as it was in the process of decomposition and had a strong odor. The animal's hind legs had been amputated, and much of its body was stuffed into a plastic bag, similar to a garbage sack.
They notified the local police, who then called the appropriate personnel to remove the animal, as it was located near the Paseo Ribereño, a popular area for many Cieza residents to walk and play sports at that time of the afternoon.

Regarding the wild boar, the company that was supposed to collect the carcass was called several times. It was the Cieza pound that was supposed to collect the animal, but one of the times the company manager called, on the second day of following the wild boar without collecting it, told us that she had to see if it belonged to her. In short, they are the ones in charge and they did not ignore the calls from the citizens.
