paralyzed traffic between via Napoli and Rione Libertà
Traffic haywire in Benevento after a group of wild boars invaded via Napoli, at the entrance to Rione Libertà. The herd then escaped without incident.
A group of boars has “invaded” the streets of downtown Benevento today evening: the pack came out on via Napoli, at the beginning of Rione Libertà, placing itself in the middle of the roadway. Traffic quickly haywire, with motorists undecided about what to do, also to run into the possible frightened and uncontrolled reaction of the wild boars: all in all a useless precaution, since the wild boars themselves they showed no signs of aggression and indeed, after noticing the hustle and bustle around them, they preferred to take the road through the woods, from which they had left in search of food. The municipal police, who intervened on the spot, then restored traffic once the wild boars had left the area.
In short, the number of Samnite wild boars seems to be growing: a figure that is growing hand in hand with the Italian one (it is estimated that there are nearly 2.5 million wild boars across the country, many of them in the central-south). Witness the incident last Saturday, when a train on the Rome-Lecce route hit three wild boars that were crossing the tracks at Ponte, near Benevento. Also on that occasion, traffic was blocked (the railway traffic) to allow the volunteers of the Environmental Guard but also the municipal police of Ponte and the veterinary doctors of the Local Health Authority of Benevento to intervene: and today’s “trespassing” in the city leaves to fear that in the coming days, with the increase in waste production due to the arrival of Christmas (which attracts wild boars and encourages their nocturnal excursions), there may be new “close” encounters with humans.
