A wolf that has attacked sheep in Eriksmåla in Emmaboda was killed yesterday evening, according to the newspaper Svensk Jakt.
“There is a paragraph 28-shooting and there is no suspicion of a crime, says Jan-Eric Johannisson, surveyor at the county Board of Kalmar.
Under Paragraph 28 of the Hunting Regulation, a domestic animal owners may kill a wolf after an attack or the risk of new attacks.
The wolf shot is most likely the so-called Kosta wolf who has had his territory in an area between Lessebovägen, Nybro Emmaboda and Hogsby municipalities, and killed several sheep over the last two years.
“It is small, just like the Kosta Wolf. The paw is just nine centimeters. The feet are usually upwards eleven centimeters. Tracks of the Kosta wolf have always been somewhat smaller in size, says Johanisson.
