Problemwolf Released for Launch in Freistadt

Gelderland deputy Harold Zoet is relieved that the wolf causing problems on De Hoge Veluwe may be shot. "It is good that the judge sees the urgency to intervene now. It is irresponsible to let a wolf that exhibits unnatural behavior roam free," said Zoet (agriculture and nature, BBB) after the verdict.

A wolf, who could not be driven away by warning shots, can now be officially killed. On Friday the firing clearance was granted.

FREISTADT. A wolf who was standing in the middle of a herd of suckler cows and could not be driven away by warning shots can now be officially killed. The clearance was granted Friday noon.

By temporarily changing the ranking of six communes in the department, including Morey, the Prefect of Saône-et-Loire is changing the conditions under which a simple defensive shot against the wolf is allowed.
