The wild boar is classified as a species likely to cause damage throughout the department of Ain. Damage to crops and public safety concerns justify these measures.
The decree outlines several methods for this culling, including administrative hunts, night shooting operations, and interventions supervised by lieutenants of louveterie (wildlife officers), after authorization from the Departmental Directorate of Territories (DDT) of Ain.
Owners, farmers, or hunting rights lessees who observe damage caused by wild boars can request an intervention. To do so, they must submit the intervention request form to the DDT of Ain.
The complete prefectural decree and the request form are available as attachments on the town hall's website.
