A wolf pair was shot in western Jämtland on Saturday, according to the Swedish predator association.
Tåssåsens Sami recently received permission from the Environmental Protection Agency to shoot wolves because they felt the wolves threatened reindeer winter grazing. The chase was performed by helicopter, writes the Predators association in a press release.
Even in Norway a wolf was shot on Saturday and thus eleven wolves have died from various reasons in Sweden and Norway so far this year, according to the association, which is worried about the development.
