Austria Court Chooses Wolves, Activists Over Hunters
From Grand View Outdoors:
The European Court of Justice ruled earlier this summer that Austria has no right to hunt wolves, despite repeated incidents of livestock attacks and protests from activists in the Tyrol region.
The Court of Justice, which is the European Union’s top court, said provinces cannot allow hunting of wolves, which have protected status, despite the livestock attacks. Several provinces allowed hunting in 2023, which spurred activists to protest and bring suit. A court in Tyrol asked for a ruling from the Court of Justice, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
