Unlikely wolf pair sparks row in rural France
From France24.com:
A rare discovery in France of a pair of wolves, each from a distinct genetic background, has excited animal lovers demanding their protection and objections from farmers eager to protect livestock.
Environmental association Carduelis reported earlier this month it had spotted the pair of wolves, one a male German-Polish wolf — a species found mostly in western Poland and eastern Germany — and the other an Italian she-wolf, usually native to the Italian peninsula.
Many European countries have reported an increase in wolf populations, aided by a return of deer, wild boar and other forms of prey.
