Wolf released for shooting: Shak cracks shake stubai vital!

Neustift im Stubaital, Österreich - The conflict between humans and animals continues to head in the Stubai Valley. The Tyrolean state government has released a wolf today after several sheep have been killed and injured in the last few days in the Innsbruck-Land district. A terrifying picture shows that four dead and three injured sheep were found in two alpine pastures from Neustift, one of these injured animals ultimately had to be worshiped. Another succumbed to his serious injuries. The official veterinarian has already found the participation of a wolf, which is why the authorities have taken this drastic measure. The shooting regulation comes into force at midnight and applies to a period of eight weeks, with a radius of ten kilometers being set for the shooting.

like tirol.orf.at , this decision was made by the responsible authorities, since the wolf is regarded as a potential danger to local animal husbandry. The reports on attacks on farm animals in the region are piling up and the measure is part of a comprehensive management plan for the Wolf in Tyrol. This year a wolf has already been demonstrated four times in the Innsbruck-Land district, with the trace of a wolf found twice in Neustift in the Stubai Valley.

Danger from large prey encroaches

The situation is not only tense in the Stubai Valley. There are similar problems in Bavaria. Like Br.de , the State Office for the Environment in Augsburg examines current sheep tears in the Ammer Mountains, in which five to six sheep have been torn. A wolf could also be responsible here, which already caused 15 sheep in mid -July in Ehrwald. In order to counter the danger, sheep holder in Ehrwald brought their animals back into the valley. At the same time, regional politics demands measures to be better protected against large predators.

The discussion about the shooting permits shows that the alpine pasture is of great importance not only for local tradition, but also for biodiversity in the Alps. Alpine farmers are now blown up their sheep flocks from the alpine pastures, which endangers both agriculture and the surrounding nature. Prime Minister Söder expressly emphasized at a main parenting that the wolf does not belong to the region and also demands the opportunity to specifically remove large prey.

The situation remains tense, and the measures to protect sheep and other farm animals are more current than ever. Many eyes are now focused on the further developments and the reactions of the hunters, while the residents and farmers in the region hope that the events will not be more.
