Thus the Undersecretary of Health, Andrea Costa, to ANSA, underlining that "today the density of wild boars in some areas of Italy is at least 5 times higher than the tolerability of the ecosystem and, beyond the contingent factor of swine fever, I remain convinced and I want to strongly reiterate, while respecting the sensitivities of animal rights activists, that this is an emergency in front of which it is necessary to foresee the extension of the 'hunting activity from 3 to 5 months and the possibility for the Regions to re-determine the quotas ".
