"Under pressure from the island's hunting community, with a decree dated January 23, 2026 , the Autonomous Region of Sardinia added Saturday, January 31, 2026, to the 2025-2026 regional hunting calendar ." But "the issue of public safety, with its endless list of deaths and injuries to hunters and non-hunters due to hunting accidents, is never addressed, much less is it obtusely acknowledged that the more wild boars are killed, the greater the number of wild boars."
The Legal Intervention Group (GRIG) and the League for the Abolition of Hunting denounced this in a statement, deeming "another day of wild boar hunting in Sardinia absurd."
"In fact," the statement states, "non-selective hunting, releases for hunting purposes, hybridization with domestic pigs, and the increasing presence of waste abandoned on the outskirts of towns are the causes of the increase in the wild boar population and its territorial spread, including in Sardinia . Consequently," environmentalists and animal rights activists conclude, "they also cause increased damage to agriculture caused by wild boars. Keep up the good work."
