Farmers welcome the first legal wolf hunt in Carinthia. Animal rights activists, on the other hand, are shocked!
“A wolf-free Carinthia, as one would like, is unrealistic and contrary to the European species protection law!” Scolded Lucas Ende, species protection coordinator of the Austrian Association for Nature Conservation, after a Gailtal hunter officially killed the first Carinthian wolf on Monday night .
Farmers, on the other hand, cheer
“The wolf has no business here! We hope that the hunters will also be successful here in Malta,” agrees Wolfgang Feistritzer – better known as Petutschnig Hons – and other farmers. In Malta, the shooting permit is maintained. With the first officially killed animal could potentially break a spell for the hunters.
“We are only responsible for the implementation. The first official kill is definitely an advantage for us. Nevertheless, it must be ensured that data protection is guaranteed. Wolf supporters quickly point us out, they can become dangerous,” says Stefan Schupfer, head of the game reserve from Penk in the Mölltal Valley. County councilor Martin Gruber assures the hunters of continued support.
