(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 12 - The approximately 140 pigs and wild boars hosted in the "Sfattoria", the sanctuary near Rome that deals with rescuing animals that are mistreated or recovered in urban areas, should be killed with electroshock.
The Lazio TAR has in fact rejected the appeal presented by the association against the decision of the ASL 1 of Rome which a few days ago notified it an order for culling because the animals are in the red zone.
But - he explains from the Sfattoria - "all our animals are all controlled, microchipped, absolutely healthy and registered in the national data bank as Pet. They cannot be killed".
