The Piedmont Region prepares the plan for the slaughter of wild boars in the regional territory
Meanwhile, the Piedmont Region is writing an ordinance that will define all the culling of wild boars throughout the region, from the infected area which includes 78 municipalities in the province of Alessandria to all the “white” areas. This was explained by Marco Protopapa, regional councilor for Agriculture and Food, in the confrontation on the African swine fever emergency with agricultural associations that took place today in the headquarters of the Province of Alessandria. The ordinance will define the methods of containment, control and selection, depending on the bands, even with the use of thermo chambers for nocturnal interventions. “Great collaboration – underlines Protopapa – was asked to the territories with the participation of the municipalities also for the organization of the disposal of carcasses. At this moment we need to team up and create synergy between all the actors who can participate in an action to protect our territories “.
