With the last culls last weekend - 64 throughout the territory - the number of wild boars caught in the current season rises to 5.251 in the Province of Genoa (2.981 in the Atc 1 Genova-Ponente and 2.2.70 in the Atc 2 Genova- Levante). "The weekend data, despite the intense cold in the hinterland, indicate - says the Commissioner of the Province, Piero Fossati - that our choice to allow the recovery on Saturday rather than Monday of hunting days lost due to bad weather or other causes , is useful and important for improving the containment of wild boars, whose invasion of the territory has become an increasingly pressing emergency ".
According to the quota set for the current season, there are 11.000 items that can be knocked down. "To respond to the numerous requests for intervention and reports of damage and devastation to gardens, vineyards, olive groves, terraces, but also on the slopes and on the course of the small rivers that come from the agricultural world and many citizens of the territory, the Province is very ready, if necessary, to extend the wild boar hunting season also to January 2013, in order to reach the fixed quota.
A measure that we could adopt also considering the strong difficulties of the current hunting season, because the scarcity of chestnuts and berries that the large ungulates often eat, leads the wild boars to leave the woods to concentrate in search of food in the areas closest to the 'inhabited, where for obvious safety reasons it is often absolutely not possible to capture them.
