A farm outside Gnesta has not done enough to protect his sheep from wolves. The Stockholm County Administrative Board considers that reports to the police the farm was violating the Animal Welfare Act, writes Eskilstuna Courier.
About 60 sheep on the farm have been killed by wolves in the past year. The County Board writes that the farm, despite repeated reminders, neither used the predator fencing or night pens to protect their animals.
The maintainers were told the existing fence had major deficiencies that allowed the wolf to enter repeatedly in the same place, writes the provincial government on its website.
According to the Animal Welfare Act, animal owners have a responsibility to look after and protect their animals.
