- Furthermore, it should be allowed to kill females of the wild boar - said Vice-President of the Association of farmers Werner Schwartz. - The suffering of animals as a result of actions of hunters is much smaller than the spread of the plague. Schwartz also acknowledged that the massive cultivation of corn for biogas plants provided the boar abundance of food and places to hide - perfect conditions for the growth of the population.

The Minister of agriculture of Germany Christian Schmidt agrees with the proposed tightening of the shooting. - A reasonable reduction of the populations of wild boar plays a key role in the prevention of the spread of ASF," said Schmidt. - To achieve the goal of reducing their population, the hunting season for wild boar should be year-round.

The President of the Association, Joachim Rukvid warned that an outbreak of African swine fever in Germany will have "catastrophic consequences" for the pig industry. - Market collapse, he said. - It is therefore necessary to use all available means to protect against disease.
