A wild boar living in the Bavarian wildlife park bears the same name as the Russian president. Due to the Ukraine war unleashed by Putin, the operator now wants to rename the animal, which comes from Russia. A new name is now being searched in an online vote.
“It is undignified what the man deducts,” said Eckard Mickisch, operator of the Waldhaus Mehlmeisl nature park, in front of President Vladimir Putin. The animal he got as a freshman was named after the man because it comes from Russia, he says.
“No sow deserves such a name”
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he decided not to use the name anymore: “It has become apparent that no pig deserves such a name,” says Mickisch. after a About 2,700 new name suggestions were made to the public. “Zelenskyj” or “Klitschko” were mentioned very often. But Mickisch doesn’t want a political name.
The wildlife park managers therefore chose five from the many names proposed. You can vote until Sunday on the park’s website. You can choose from “Igor”, “Frederick”, “Mir” (Ukrainian and Russian for “peace”), “Eberhofer” and “Gustl”.
