Ministry of Environment said that it would prevent wild boars that transmit African swine fever and spent more than 170 billion won to install quarantine fences everywhere. Comments are coming out.



This is G1 Broadcasting reporter Won Seok-jin.



<Reporter> This



is the ASF blocking fence installed on the incense stick of Dongbu Electric Wire.



It is standard that there are holes in several places, and there are sections that have completely collapsed.



I saw the specifications.



The fence wire mesh is designed to be buried up to 70cm below the ground.



However, the site was constructed separately from the drawings so that it could pass under the wire mesh.



[Cho Beom-jun / Secretary General of the Wildlife Federation: How much does it cost to cut tens of kilometers each by 70cm?

If you don't ask this, there's no point in doing it.]



Was the price reasonable?



As a result of analyzing the data received through the information disclosure request, the ASF fence was constructed at an average price of 62,000 won per meter.



It is twice as expensive as the market price of 30,000 won for construction.



[Jo Young-seok/Professor at Daegu University (participating in the government TF team at the time): A person who did not come (in the meeting) at the time (in the meeting) came up with the idea of ​​a wide area fence.

I was against it.

'It's an expert opinion,' and this gentleman said, 'Then let's do it for the purpose of reassuring the people.']



Dr. Jose, considered one of the foremost authorities on ASF research, is astonished to see our fence.



[Jose Manuel Sanchez / World Animal Health Organization ASF Standards Institute Director: Not good.

Not good at all.

This is for rabbits.

Spending your budget on this bullshit is a waste.]



Other experts agree.



[James Boss/Professor of Department of Health Animals, Complutense University, Madrid: You cannot prevent the movement of wild boars.

(Wild boars) will pass through that fence.]



In response, the Ministry of Environment said that the fence project was promoted so urgently that there were places where it could not be properly constructed, and said that they were constantly looking for such parts.
