Two Wolves Shot in Skåne District After Attacking Hunting Dogs
Skåne, Sweden – In a recent incident, two wolves were shot in the Linderödsåsen district in Skåne on Saturday, according to an announcement made by the county administrative board on its website. The wolves are said to have aggressively approached and attacked hunting dogs, leading to their unfortunate demise.
The use of section 28, which allows for protective measures to be taken against animals that pose a threat to hunting dogs, was invoked for the first time in Scania. The incident has raised eyebrows and sparked a debate on the necessity and effectiveness of such measures.
Cajsa Söder, wildlife officer at the Skåne County Administrative Board, addressed the matter, stating, “You may think it is remarkable that two wolves were shot to tame hunting dogs on the same day, but we treat it as two separate cases.” Söder further emphasized the board’s willingness to handle each case individually.
Both wolves shot were identified as males, and in order to determine their origin, they will be sent to the Norwegian Veterinary Institute for further examination and identification.
This incident has reignited the ongoing discussion about the coexistence of wildlife and domesticated animals in the area. While wolves are an integral part of the ecosystem and protected by law in Sweden, conflicts can arise when they encroach on human settlements or farms.
