In response to a reported increase in attacks on livestock, several regions have authorised killing
ARBESBACH – After wolves swooped from the forest and savaged her lambs, Austria n sheep farmer Renate Pilz feels like giving up. Others, to the anger of conservationists, are reaching for their rifles.
In response to a reported increase in attacks on livestock, several Austrian regions have authorised the controversial killing of wolves.Swelling wolf populations have dominated the headlines in the Alpine country and stirred emotion across Europe, with breeding packs recorded in 23 countries of the European Union.A few kilometres from Arbesbach, Gerhard Fallent told AFP that three wolves had killed "half of his flock of sheep" and seriously injured the other half last year.
With family farms going out of business, he noted that several Austrian regions managed to significantly reduce the number of attacks after authorising killings.In Austria's southern state of Carinthia, shooting wolves to protect local farms and their livestock has been authorised since 2022.Putting up barriers such as fences in the rugged terrain, he argued, was "impossible" and above all a "waste of public money".
But conservationists across Europe have been up in arms, with environmental groups in Austria challenging the authorised killings in court. The operation, which claims to be the only one of its kind in the world, is attached to Vienna's University of Veterinary Medicine.
