Alarm in Olbia due to wild boars that have been wandering around some neighborhoods for weeks now.

Herds of animals roam, especially at nightfall, in the areas of Poltu Cuadu and Olbia Mare, as well as near the airport , in search of food.

The last sighting, immortalized by the mobile phones of some residents, took place on March 27: a family of wild boars, with many puppies in tow, regardless of the people present, crossed the streets of Poltu Cuadu, also passing in front of the police headquarters local, to various homes and to a bar , and then disappears into the vegetation that is located a stone's throw from the Olbia coast.

The video went viral on social media. The amazement of those present, however, also left room for concern: on many occasions, perhaps because they were frightened by the presence of men, these animals attempted to attack them and some of the dogs of the residents of the area were also bitten several times.

For this reason, over six hundred people have already signed a petition prepared by the lawyer Christian Cicoria , to ask for a solution to this problem. «We are not asking for them to be suppressed, - explains Cicoria who lives in Poltu Cuadu - but we want to avoid episodes like the one involving a woman, attacked a few weeks ago by a wild boar. We have already forwarded the request for compensation for damages to the Sardinia Region for her. It is a potentially dangerous situation for the inhabitants of these areas and for those who pass through them. The petition we have made can be signed by everyone, even animal rights activists, and some have already done so, precisely because we don't want them to be suppressed, but we also want to protect our domestic dogs."

Furthermore, the lawyer underlines that, given the situation, many people are frightened by the presence of these wild boars and are avoiding going for evening walks with their dogs, or even simply cycling in the tourist port area. «We remember – concludes Cicoria – that in these neighborhoods there are three schools, the artistic high school, the primary school and a nursery school».
