After the federal state of Tyrol released a wolf pair in East Tyrol for shooting at the beginning of August, the state administrative court (LVwG) has now reversed the decision. Another decision to shoot a wolf in the Wipptal was given the suspensive effect of a complaint. An afflicted farmer stated, “Now I’ve decided to stop.”
According to the report of the shooting, the two wolves 108MATK and 121FATK could have been removed from three hunting sub-areas in the East Tyrolean communities of Lavant, Tristach and Nikolsdorf until October 31. But now the state administrative court has referred the decision back to the authority for a new decision. The Court’s reasoning: There is insufficient assurance that the “correct” wolves are removed.
According to the decision, the Wolf 158MATK in the Tyrolean Wipptal could also have been removed at the end of October. The State Administrative Court has now granted the suspensive effect of a complaint. Objection to the decision is now possible.
Board of Trustees met
The three dismissal orders are therefore no longer enforceable. Hunters were notified by text message to the state alert center yesterday. In the coming week, the specialized supervisory board for wolves, bears and lynxes will meet to decide on the danger of other wolf species in East Tyrol. More than 200 sheep and nearly adult cattle were killed there this summer.
Tyrol’s LHStv. Josef Geisler clings to straws: “If necessary, we will take new legal avenues.” The aim is for the EU to understand that the wolf is no longer threatened with extinction. In many cases this would come too late: “I am encouraged to give up sheep farming. You now hear that in rows,” says Marco Rabanser. 17 of his sheep were recently dead on the Vogelsberg above Wattens.
Also in 2021 the baking order was undone
As early as December of the previous year, the state administrative court had referred a decision to kill the wolf designated 118MATK back to the authority for a new decision. According to the decision, the animal would be excluded from the year-round closed season for 60 days in ten hunting areas in the Oberland municipalities of St. Sigmund, Oetz, Haiming, Silz, Stams and Rietz.
