“We have estimated to selectively shoot down between 5 thousand and 8 thousand heads, without forgetting, however, that in the last year 4 thousand specimens have already been killed. Now we need to improve in selective killing abilities, targeting the individuals who make the species grow. This activity must be linked to a meat treatment system so that the slaughtered animals can enter a standardized consumption chain". To speak this way is the professor Domenico Fulgione, of the Department of Biology of the Federico II University of Naples, who returns to manage, after having already held this position in the past, the Management Plan of the wild boar emergency in Cilento.
He and his team will have the task of countering what has now become a real plague south of the province of Salerno, with raids in urban centers and ever greater damage to the agricultural sector. Without forgetting, unfortunately, also road accidents. And for the professor the only way to go is that of selective killing. "The most effective solution is the selective culling, subtracting the individuals responsible for the demographic growth of the species - adds Fulgione - It is obviously essential do it selectively because otherwise you risk doing double damage, making their presence proliferate "(The morning).
