After the Tyrolean state government was recommended by the Board of Trustees on predators to remove a few wolves from the Italian population on Tuesday, the decision prepared by the responsible department is now available. The shooting permit is valid until the end of October.
The report states that until October 31, two wolves may be preyed on from three hunting sub-areas in the East Tyrolean municipalities of Lavant, Tristach and Nikolsdorf. It will now be sent to those authorized to hunt and the hunting protection authorities in the affected areas. The decision can be appealed within four weeks. However, the suspensive effect of any complaint was withdrawn,” the state said on Friday.
Cracks in North and East Tyrol and Carinthia
The predators are on the one hand a male wolf with the designation “108 MATK”, which had already been detected several times last year in North and East Tyrol and recently also not far from the Lavanter Alm in Carinthia. “The second wolf is a female animal (121 FATK), which was last detected on July 6, 2021 in a mauled sheep in the Carinthian Drau Valley,” the state continued in the broadcast.
300 pounds of shredded oxen
A crack event on the Lavanter Alm on July 24 killed a total of 17 sheep and one goat and injured three sheep. It is very likely that an 11-month-old ox was also killed by wolves. “This is the first case in Tyrol where a nearly one-year-old cattle weighing about 300 kilograms was most likely mauled by large predators,” the state said. Samples were taken for further investigation.
Shooting the wolf with the designation “158 MATK” was already approved in Tyrol. Also until the end of October. Immediately afterwards, environmental protection organization WWF (World Wide Fund For Nature) announced that it would appeal against the shooting decision.
