The complex issue of agricultural damage caused by wild animals was brought to the attention of the prefect of Novara Pasquale Gioffrè. “A commitment has been obtained to do everything possible in organizing a meeting with the Province of Novara and with the forest police so that the plan for the containment of wild boars is made operational and implemented concretely ", say the president of Coldiretti Novara-Vco Sara Baudo and the director Francesca Toscani. Baudo emphasizes that "the problem of wild animals, and in particular of wild boars, in the province of Novara it has assumed worrying proportions. We reiterated to the prefect that it is not just a question of continuous damage to companies, ruined crops and unobtainable reimbursements, but a security issue and public health. For some time these animals have approached without fear the inhabited centers and also cross very busy roads, causing serious accidents».
Swine fever assumes one of the elements of greatest concern: «The viral disease affecting pigs and wild boars - they say from Coldiretti - is already present in Northern Europe. Ungulates can be a means of contagion for infecting farmed pigs". The president of the ATC, Territorial hunting area, Filippo Caccia: «Three outputs of the selecontrollers in recent days were enough to capture thirty animals, both male and female. The Region has finally accepted our requests, allowing the killing of all classes, including adult females and above all increasing the time after sunset by about 30 minutes.
It is an important change of pace. We will give answers to the fallow deer problem raised by Confagricoltura and Cia, by purchasing the anti-intrusion networks in addition to modifying the selective regulation so as to use only the selection hunt combined with the planned harvesting plans, without requiring a new extraordinary catch campaign "(The print).
