Italy's drought crisis is driving more and more wild boar into cities causing increasing death and damage and exacerbating an already critical invasion situation, farmers group Coldiretti said Friday.
    The drought has shriveled crops and dried up streams pushing boar ever more towards urban and coastal centres in search of food and water, Coldiretti President Ettore Prandini told a board emergency summit with Farm Minister Francesco Lollobrigida, Federparchi President Giampiero Sammuri, Fondazione Una President Maurizio Zipponi, and the president of the Agrivenatoria Biodiversitalia association, Niccolò Sacchetti.
    Boars now cause an incident every two days in Italy, Prandini said, with the invasion of the animals and other wild beasts provoking over 200 fatalities and injuries on Italian roads and streets in a year, as well as untold damage to crops and risks for livestock farming.
    "This is one of the worst all-round menaces to security," said Coldiretti.
    There are an estimated 2.3 million board roaming Italy and 69% of Italians believe they are too many and back recent plans for a massive cull.
    The centre-left opposition Democratic Party (PD) accused Lollobrigida of not following through on announcements of the cull, saying "the boar aren't going to disappear by magic".
    But the ruling rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party said the cull had been included in the 2023 budget and would go ahead as planned.
