Abstract
The ASF virus has been spreading among wild boars for over a decade in several European countries, including Poland. As a result, there are quite numerous infections among domestic pigs as well. Therefore, numerous EU and Member State regulations have been published in this respect and a biosecurity procedure has been introduced. One of its elements is to hunt wild boars in areas vulnerable to the ASF virus. The increase in the number of infections among wild boars and the appearance of numerous outbreaks of this disease among pigs prompted the Polish authorities to allow a significant increase in the amount of wild boar hunting. This decision aroused debate on the legitimacy of such a solution. The purpose of this study is to
analyse the provisions of EU and Polish law regarding the legitimacy of an increase in the amount of wild boar hunting in Poland.
