Cantons have killed 39 wolves so far this fall

From bluewin.ch:

According to the latest wolf map published by the Foundation for Predator Ecology and Wildlife Management (Kora), there are currently 35 wolf packs living in Switzerland with a parent pair and at least one pup. Nine of these packs move between Switzerland and neighboring countries.

The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) has authorized the cantons to completely eliminate eight packs. An application from the canton of Valais for the complete “removal” of another pack is still pending. 13 packs may be decimated, which means that a certain number of newborn pups have been released for shooting.
