In Sassari, local councilors and civic committees have initiated investigations into a suspected new pig weaning operation located between the Caniga San Giorgio and Maccia d’Agliastru roads. This follows the recent closure of a previous farm in the area due to court rulings and irregularities.

Local officials and the Caniga San Giorgio committee have requested access to administrative documents to clarify the nature of the activity, which was reportedly submitted to the Suape desk in September. The civic committee ‘L’elefante nella stanza’ has issued formal warnings to the Municipality and the local health authority (Asl), calling for the activity to be halted. Health officials have since conducted site inspections to verify sanitary conditions.
