After several attacks on sheep decided Dalarna County Administrative Board today regarding protective of a wolf in the so-called Gimme territory. In the territory there is a male wolf considered genetically valuable for reducing inbreeding.
– The attack that took place on the 24 sheep, they are predators repellent fence. And when you then assesses culling, it is an assessment of the seriousness of the risk in the future. And then we believe that it has happened in the territory is so serious that we see no other possibility than to decide on culling, says Jonas Bergman, at the County Administrative Board in Dalarna.
More than 40 sheep and goats has been killed in wolf attacks in the territory of Dalarna. The money that pet owners can seek the provincial government for action against predator attack is over, and there was a risk of more attacks on domestic animals.
Therefore, grant county government cull of a wolf, despite the risk to shoot an animal that could play an important role in reducing the level of inbreeding in the wolf population.
– Now we have decided on a very limited hunting by domestic animals farmed and 300 meters around to ensure that, as far as possible pushed individuals who actually may mean harm. We have also written that as far as possible not to postpone the genetically important wolf.
Can it be hunting for more than a wolf?
– Our Decisions only a wolf.
So far this year, six wolves shot in the protection hunts in Sweden, and a wolf that was shot at direct attacks on domestic animals, so-called paragraph 28 hunting.
