SE: Wolf pairs in Norrbotten moved southward

Roughly translated by TWIN Observer

STOCKHOLM / TT

The wolf pair that is in the Torne Valley in Norrbotten are both of Finnish-Russian origin. This has been found in a dna analysis.

Sami villages engaged in reindeer herding in the area want the wolves away and have called for hunting of the wolf pair. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish Board of Agriculture want to keep the wolves because they are genetically valuable to the Swedish wolf population and are now considering moving the pair to the south, away from the areas where reindeer are herded.
