Wild boar: Corrèze prefect calls for stepped-up culling
The prefect of Corrèze is asking the hunting federation and the wolf-control officers (lieutenants de louveterie) to step up the culling of wild boar. After an intensely dry summer, the animals are currently causing major damage, particularly to crops. Between July and the end of October, 2,000 wild boar were killed in the department. That is 200 more than last year.
