So far, 23 of 24 wolves shot in Värmland and the Swedish wolf population seems to go well. This conclusion was drawn by the National Veterinary Institute in Uppsala regarding the wolves that they have so far necropsied in connection with the wolf hunt.
43 wolves may be shot this year and all will be sent to the SVA to be investigated. Erik Agren, assistant state veterinarian, says that it is useful to get many animals of the same kind.
“We look at health and looking for any illnesses and injuries,” said Deputy State Veterinarian Erik Agren.
In Värmland, the 23 th wolf was shot on Tuesday. This means that only one wolf left to get shot. The County Board now also urging hunters to immediately announce if another wolf is shot – so no more than the allotted 24 wolves may be felled.
