“Since this animal is not as big as the wolf, the larger animals are hardly in danger of extinction. Therefore, I do not see such a big problem for agriculture at the moment,” emphasized the commissioner of the wolf of Salzburg, Hubert Stock.
Similar protection for golden jackals as for wolves
Golden jackals are slightly larger than foxes, belong to the canine superfamily, and have an average shoulder height of 17 to 20 inches. “Due to the fall of the Iron Curtain, they emigrated from Hungary and Ukraine, increased their numbers in eastern Austria in particular and also come to Salzburg sporadically,” Agriculture Councilor Josef Schwaiger (ÖVP) said in a broadcast on Wednesday by the afternoon. As with the wolf, the country supports the protection of the pack and compensates for the cracks. The protection of golden jackals is similar to that of wolves, Stock says.
The golden jackal rarely in Salzburg
Animals are currently very rare in Salzburg. Two years ago, for example, someone got into a photographic trap, more than 20 years ago there was a shooting in Gastein Valley because the golden jackal was mistaken for a fox. Now, for the first time, a crack has been clearly identified. Just a few weeks ago, a golden jackal also killed a sheep in Sölden, Tyrol.
