The problems of cages
The spontaneous Abruzzo breeders' committee against the use of cages for catching wild boars. “They are prohibited by law 157/92, but the regulatory provisions continue to be broken,” Dino Rossi, coordinator of Cospa, explains to LaPresse. “The judiciary, despite the complaints and complaints made, still does not issue notices of guarantee”, explained the agricultural entrepreneur, originally from Ofena (L'Aquila), underlining that in Abruzzo cages would be used to capture wild boars “which they don't even respect animal welfare" continued Rossi.
Too much confusion
The installation of the 'catch cages', not to be confused with the 'manhole covers' - metal boxes used for the transport of a single animal - in November last year affected the territories of Castel del Monte, in the L'Aquila area and then Campli, in the Teramo area, where the cages discovered by Cospa were 5.
Immediate removal
They were also found in Penne, in the province of Pescara and in Ofena. “Cospa, every time they place the cages, forwards complaints and they are immediately removed, but without condemning anyone – concluded Rossi – The parks have the task of protecting the animals and not managing the fauna”.
