The new Wolf Plan for 2024-2029 published Friday by the government plans to increase compensation for breeders, by 33% for sheep and 25% for goats. The measures aim to “not leave a farmer in distress in the face of attacks” on his livestock by facilitating the slaughter of predators in action.
The slaughter quota remains unchanged, at 19% of the population recorded each year – or 209 in 2023 for a lupine population estimated at around 1,100. Cub scouts will now be exempt from this lighting requirement and will be able to use weapons equipped with night sights.
