More boar spotted wandering near Rome metro stop

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 25 - Wild boar were spotted wandering near a Rome metro stop Tuesday afternoon in the latest case of the increasingly brazen incursions that have spurred plans for a cull of the animals amid an outbreak of swine fever in the Italian capital and northwest Italy.
    Two adult boar and a number of piglets were caught on video rummaging around in greenery near the Cipro stop in the upscale Prati district of Rome.
    In all, around 10 animals were involved in this latest case, sources said.
    Board have grown fearless in their 'invasion' of urban areas across Italy where they openly forage for food among city rubbish.
    Italy is planning a cull of hundreds of the animals after the outbreaks of swine fever, first in Piedmont and Liguria and later in Rome. (ANSA).
