Residents of West Palm Beach, FL, are complaining about the wild boar carcasses that have been washing ashore at Jensen Beach Causeway Park. It has become such a routine occurrence that many have dubbed the area as boars head beach.

News Channel 4 says that those who use and enjoy the shoreline near the Jensen Beach Causeway Park are concerned about wild boar carcasses washing up on the beach

It's an area popular for fishing, boating, and having a picnic under the pavilion. He says he visits the park daily, and has noticed at least three carcasses wash up over the last couple of months.



Hair, hooves, bones, and intestines are spread along the beach near the boat ramps at the park. "People don't want to drop their boats here when it smells like that. You got kids trying to play down on the beach, you don't want them playing around that," the man said.

Officials with the Martin County Parks Department say they've seen carcasses washing up for some time along various Intracoastal shorelines, most likely as a result of illegal dumping.

Jim Lopilato, Park Superintendent of Port Salerno and Hutchinson Island, says dumping is punishable, but only if law enforcement is able to catch someone in the act.

Otherwise, it's basically impossible to know where they're being dumped from.

One man at the park says he has his own idea of what may be causing a problem. "I'm thinking hunting season just started and somebody's getting rid of their extra carcasses."
