EU Top Court Rules Against Austria Wolf Hunting
From Barron’s:
The European Union’s top court ruled Thursday that Austria had no right to hunt wolves, after activists contested killings of the protected species in the Alpine nation.
Several regions of Austria started to allow wolves to be killed last year after reporting that the animals were increasingly attacking livestock.
Environmental groups brought a case to court in Austria’s Tyrol province, arguing that hunting wolves violated an EU directive adopted in 1992 protecting the animals.
