Translation from bureaucrat(which is the same language the world over):

"We'll gather information and decide if action is needed" = "We're not going to do squat."
Rampaging wild boars weighing more than 30 stone are attacking lambs and must be culled, Scottish farmers have said.

Steven MacKenzie, a Highland gamekeeper, said he had shot a boar double the normal size as it attacked one of his ewes. He believes extra protein from devouring farm animals explains why wild boars are increasing in size.
...
A Scottish government spokesman said: “We will continue to collate information on the distribution and impact of feral pigs in Scotland and consider whether any further action is required.”

This is one of the problems of relying on the government for solutions. I'm sure that the local folks could resolve this on their own if left to their own devices. a 30 stone pig would put a lot of bacon, roasts and chops in the larder.
