The Hungarian wild boar population needs to be reduced in order to slow down the spread of African swine fever and to make the country free of the disease in the long run, the national chief veterinarian told M1 news channel.

Bognár Lajos added that a national action plan for the regulation of the wild boar population was recently prepared, which includes, among other things, that those entitled to hunt can choose from the possible means of depletion (shooting, trapping). (MTI)
