The selective killing of wild boars began in Vulture regional park with the turn technique, one of the three ways of containing wild species envisaged by the Plan adopted inPark area. In addition to the capture cages, the culling of wild boars from fixed location.
For these activities they have been trained 35 operators to whom, at the end of the course, certificates of selecontroller and expert in the census of garments were delivered. "The containment of wild boars - commented the regional councilor for the Environment and Energy, Gianni Rosa - it is also one of the emergencies in the Vulture, where the massive presence of wild boars causes damage to agriculture and compromises the chestnut groves and prestigious vineyards that identify the protected area. The Plan is one of the initiatives that, in close coordination with the Park Authority, we are putting in place to enhance one of the most characteristic areas of Basilicata. I thank the Commissioner and the Park offices for their effective collaboration.
As part of the containment activities - he added - it was created a supply chain that provides for the management of slaughtered or captured animals. For culled animals, collection and marketing are foreseen. For those captured, the removal of the manhole covers is foreseen up to the slaughterhouse and from here to the commercial network and catering. These activities transform the problem into a resource for the territory "(Basilicata 24).
