The commander of the corps Gianluca Giurato said that "The agents will be able to sleep or kill, depending on the circumstances, the ungulates pushed into the inhabited areas". The presence of wild boars is now uncontrolled. A choice designed for the well-being of all citizens.

The local police commander Juror assures: “Animals will be killed only when they represent a serious danger and imminent for citizens, we guarantee that our first goal will be to put them to sleep "(First Channel).
