Bianca Rief was terrified when she found a deer in front of her farm in Kelchsau in the Tyrolean lowlands. She fears that a wolf is the culprit and wants clarification through a DNA test.
The woman from Unterländer lives with her husband Richard and their 9, 11 and 13-year-old children on a farm in the Vorderen Kelchsau. A shadow of fear has hung over the family since Friday morning. “When my sister-in-law came to visit, she asked if I had seen what was right in front of the house,” says Rief. “I then went to the door and was absolutely shocked to discover a brutally mauled, dead deer.”
I immediately thought of Wolf
“The first thing I thought of was a wolf,” says the Tyrolean. Although no large tracks were visible in the snow, the area around the deer was trampled.
I want a DNA test
The family keeps chickens, rabbits and ducks on the farm and occasionally a fox kills chickens. But Rief does not trust that master Reineke will make such a brutal crack. “Until the suspicion of wolves is gone, I’m afraid to let my children leave the house at night,” she says. She wants a DNA test done.
Experts suspect Fuchs is more likely
The crack assessors Hans and Michael Embacher have already taken a DNA sample and sent it for assessment. For now, though, they’re not necessarily assuming a wolf’s tear. “According to my son Michael, who was there, the bite marks point to a fox,” says district hunter Hans Embacher. But only DNA can clarify the case 100 percent.
Wolf often hasty “Perpetrator”
He criticizes the fact that almost every dead game is currently attributed to a wolf: “But we have to tackle this problem.”
