| History | The animals have been living feral since their owner died in 2001. Animal Welfare groups won a legal battle to let the animals live on Monte Bisbino oas a feral herd. Today an association looks for the animals. They are now in semi-ferl conditionswith feeding in winter and under vet. control in the Valle dŽIntelvi at the Monte Generoso (Italian side) |
