Ultimii 3.000 de porci / Cinta Senese, o rasă asemănătoare cu Mangalița, e aproape de dispariție în Italia / Animalele amenințate de pesta porcină ar putea fi trimise pe o insulă

In Tuscany, cases of African swine fever are increasing, leading to the culling of hundreds of pigs, including the endangered Cinta Senese breed. With only about 3,000 Cinta Senese pigs left, concerns grow over their potential extinction. A proposal has emerged to relocate nine pigs to Pianosa Island as a genetic safeguard. However, experts warn that introducing pigs to this fragile ecosystem could cause significant environmental damage. The situation remains uncertain as authorities evaluate the feasibility of this plan amidst rising infection rates in the region.
