Swelling wolf population creates culling controversy
From The Standard:
After wolves swooped from the forest and savaged her lambs, sheep farmer Renate Pilz feels like giving up. Others, to the anger of conservationists, are reaching for their rifles.
“I lost two ewes and two lambs” to the wolf attack last year, the 55-year-old said at her farm in the village of Arbesbach.
She pulled out photos of her animals, bleeding and so badly bitten that they had to be put down.
“It’s too much work, it’s no longer profitable and, above all, I don’t want to do it any more,” she said.
