SE: Wolf moved for the third time

Roughly translated by TWIN Observer

STOCKHOLM / TT

A wolf who attacked and destroyed reindeer in eastern Jämtland is to be moved south to escape controlled hunting. The Environmental Protection Agency has decided this.

It will be the third time in a year that the wolf is moved away from the reindeer herding area.

The wolf has a Finnish-Russian heritage which is important from a genetic point of view of the Swedish wolf population. The move will take place as soon as the wolf is considered to be in strong enough to withstand the hardships of the move. As long as the bitter cold continues, the move is delayed because sedation in very cold weather is dangerous for the wolf.
