Wild boar invasion in Rome - a threat to Italian delicacies

Wild boars attack children, litter and cause traffic accidents in Rome.

The government has now decided to kill the animals.

Something that the Italians like.

Not only city dwellers are worried, but also Italian farmers are worried about the wild boar's progress in the capital.

If the plague is spread to domestic animals, it could lead to products such as prosciutto ham and salami being threatened if large numbers of domestic pigs are infected.

"Not the wild boar's fault"

The poor waste management in the city is one of the reasons why the wild boar in Rome is now estimated to be up to 23,000 animals.

- It's not the wild boar's fault, it's the people's.

Who gets dirty and does not throw things in the bins but next to them, says Anonietta, who lives in the Triumfale area.
