A wild boar that ended up in a poacher's trap was released by some hunters and by the Provincial Police of Macerata.
Agents of the provincial police of Macerata and some hunters from Caldarola together rescued and freed a female boar that had been imprisoned in a trap built by hand with a noose with a steel wire slipknot.
A system of trapping also prohibited because it can cause excessive suffering to the animals. It happened in Caldarola, in the immediate outskirts of the town, along the provincial road 502 in the direction of Colfano.
The trap had been placed on top of an escarpment and it was the animal's loud grunts that attracted some passers-by who in turn warned local hunters and the provincial police.
