FALUN / TT
The Dalarna County Administrative Board has approved the cull of three wolves residing in the Idre new reindeer herding Sami village area in the municipality of Älvdalen.
The decision is justified since the wolves seem to have established territories in the calving area and that there are no other solutions to resolve the conflict with reindeer herding.
The County Board has however refused three requests for controlled hunting in the area around Sundborn and Hjortnäs-Sunnanäng. The situation is assessed in the current situation as not so serious that the cull is justified there.
