Now, seventeen of the wolves shot during the ongoing pursuit of Värmland and Örebro undergone an autopsy at the National Veterinary Institute.
And it has been found that the animals are generally healthy. And no serious birth defects have been detected on the autopsied animals.
– Serious birth defects we do not expect, then had the wolves would not have survived until January, says wildlife pathologist Erik Agren to the Daily News.
Inbreeding has made the Swedish wolf population vulnerable to diseases and malformations, which have been used as arguments both for and against licensed hunting.
