Residents of the Roures i Ametllers urbanization, near the Bonmont Golf Club, have expressed their concern over the continuous presence of wild boars in residential areas. The community criticizes the "inaction" of various administrations regarding this issue, which has reportedly caused significant material damage to gardens and properties.
This situation is not new, as the same community previously reported the presence of these animals last December. The Mont-roig City Council then responded with increased preventive measures, although wild fauna commonly frequents the outskirts of urbanizations in the municipality's interior.
The neighborhood community has informed the Rural Agents, the Generalitat, and the City Council, but they lament the lack of "effective solutions." The community president, Manuel Gil, criticizes that "administrations pass responsibilities to each other" while wild boars continue to enter every night.
Residents feel "abandoned" and point out that the council, after contacting other administrations without useful responses, has postponed seeking solutions, citing staff holidays.
Municipal sources assure they are following current regulations and responding with recommendations from the Generalitat, such as not feeding the animals, reducing lawn watering in summer, avoiding bulbous plants, and removing hiding vegetation. The council also notes that hunting activities are underway around Bonmont with hunters, but only in rural areas.
The material damages reported by residents exceed "thousands of euros." Furthermore, concern is growing for safety, particularly due to the animals' presence in streets and common areas frequented by children and the elderly. "We don't want to wait for an accident to happen for someone to act," they conclude.
