The Environmental Protection Agency has given the green light for continued hunting of a wolf that moved close to human settlements and attacked and killed several pet dogs near Färila.
Two wolf organizations contested the provincial government of Gävleborg decision to cull with the request for a suspension of the hunt until the issue was resolved. The EPA rejects the appeal on the grounds that the two organizations do not have the right to appeal.
The County Administrative Board staff and hunters have tracked the wolf in the area where protective hunting may take place, but have not yet found any trace of the two genetically valuable young wolves who recently strayed too close to buildings.
