Mariano Mariani, Director of Porto Conte Park which is located in the municipal area of Alghero, he was very clear in his latest statements. After a suspension, by the end of 2016 it will bounce back with capture and killing of wild boars. Attacks on people, road accidents and damage to crops are increasingly numerous, so it was decided to intervene urgently.
In addition, it will also soon arrive at the containment of fallow deer, given that their number is four times higher than that fixed for the maintenance capacity. According to Mariani there is really no time for controversy and ungulates are in fact a problem in many territories. This Natural Park is defined as a unique reference point, as it was the first to implement containment interventions, to be precise, apart from 2008.
However, these operations were stopped two years ago and just at a time when it was producing great results. The last two weeks have been characterized by 50 wild boars being killed by means of capture in a cage and firearm under the supervision of the Forest Guard. The capture cages will now be managed by wildlife assistants, that is to say of the specialized hunters who followed gods specific training courses.
