– The bitch injured her right front leg, so she was unable to walk properly, but was still able to move in large areas, says Dickson at the county administrative board.
In consultation with the attorneys, the hunting team was able to shoot the wolf even though there is no protective hunt.
– We thought it was a good solution to shoot the wolf. “We have been anxious to have him killed because it seems that he has suffered,” he says.
But has the focus now been the end?
– No, that’s the problem, that he hasn’t done enough for us to have legal support to kill him and decide to hunt for protection, says Dickson.
That says the law
According to Caroline Dickson, the ordinance states that if you come across an animal that is suffering, you have the opportunity to kill it for animal welfare reasons (if you have a hunting license).
– The problem is that the law does not say that the animal can be searched. For example, you should not put dogs on a wolf, even if it feels bad. Therefore, the wolf has been allowed to move freely and the individuals who encountered the wolf, if they were hunters, still did not dare to shoot it.
Damaged in april
The wolf has long been in Linghed in Falu Township and in April, during a protection hunt, the dog was injured but was not found during the search. In late 2020, residents of Linghed testified that the wolf had returned and was wandering around Linghed: Björn Hagman even captured the wolf on film.
– It looks miserable. He seems to be so numb that he didn’t care that I was there, Hagman told SVT in December.
The wolf has now been sent to SVA for an autopsy.
