It seemed like a shelved hypothesis, with the withdrawal of the amendment that introduced it. But the regional councilor for agriculture, Valeria Satta, raises the bar with the semi-wild grazing of pigs: " The farmers are waiting, I'm sure the issue will be addressed shortly in the Agriculture commission".

What is it about? To eradicate swine fever, the possibility of free grazing of pigs had been forbidden: the untraceable animals left free were simply slaughtered. After years of embargo, the virus has finally been eradicated. Now the hypothesis of a controlled semi-liberalization is looming, which is seen as dangerous by veterinary experts: the countermeasures to stem the viral circulation, which is now frightening in the Peninsula, may not be sufficient, there is fear of the epidemic restarting.

The farmers of Desulo , who met Satta yesterday, do not think so. And the exponent of the Giunta promoted their requests: "As always when I spend time with farmers, I feel at home". wrote the commissioner , «I discussed the precious resources of the territory that must undoubtedly be preserved and the difficulties they are still facing in their work. I am sure that the theme of semi-wild grazing of pigs, which they have long awaited and requested for some time, will soon be addressed in the agriculture commission».
