For weeks it has been puzzled as to how a fallow deer died near walls (Freising district). Now it is clear: It was a wolf.


For weeks it has been puzzled as to how a fallow deer died near walls (Freising district).

Now it is clear: It was a wolf.

  • A dead game was found in walls in the Freising district.

  • The traces indicated a predator as the cause.

  • Experts now confirm: it must have been a wolf.

Update, November 13th, 10:33 am: Incidentally, in a regulation, i.e. the shooting of individual wolves, conservationist Friedel does not see any point in connection with the Freising wolf.

"That stirs up the false hope among animal owners that if we shoot a few wolves, everything will be fine again."

Update, November 12, 12:05 p.m.:

After the official confirmation of a wolf in the municipality of Mauern, Freising district (

see initial report below

), new connections are opening up in the affected area.

As

Georg Sixt,

CEO of the Mauern Hunting Association, reported to the Freisinger Tagblatt, there had apparently been several

relevant observations

of

conspicuous animals

in the region

recently

: Around four weeks ago, citizens reported that they had seen a "creature" that despite certain similarities "Couldn't have been a dog or a fox," said Sixt.

At that time, however, nobody seriously thought of a wolf.

Experts are certain: the torn fallow deer, which was discovered in an enclosure near Wauern (Freising district) at the end of October, fell victim to a wolf.

Wolf tears game by walls: Apparently not the only case

According to his own statements, the 49-year-old lives only 600 meters as the crow flies from the place where the torn fallow deer was found, to which the official wolf confirmation now refers.

Georg Sixt had then examined the Damtier carcass of his friend himself.

“The paw prints in the mud were about ten centimeters long, the picture had indicated a predator.

But of course nobody expected a wolf back then.

We haven't had that before. "

Rather, one

suspected

a

lynx

.

With the new level of knowledge, other incidents would now appear in a completely new light.

Sixt: “There is a neighboring fallow deer enclosure in which several dead animals with a conspicuous feeding pattern were also found.

At that time it was assumed that the animals somehow perished and were then eaten by a fox. "

Wolf report in the Freising district: Expert sees "zero risk" for people

According to Sixt, the classic wolf dilemma now arises: “The population wants the wolf, but nobody wants it locally.

It's the same game everywhere. ”There are“ zero dangers ”for people, the 49-year-old emphasizes:“ The wolf is a flight animal, it avoids people, will always keep its distance and does not adapt to them. ”Be him never heard of problems with a wolf in relation to humans.

Wolf near Freising: An important appeal to dog owners

Of course, things look different for pet owners.

Sixt: “As a farmer, I myself have 300 cattle grazing.

If the cows calve outside, we can have big problems with a wolf. ”In fact, the calves would not run with the herd for the first eight days, but instead put them down - making them easy prey for a predator.

"We will have to learn to live with danger," says the chairman of the hunting association.

In this context, he makes an appeal specifically to all dog owners: "My advice is to generally keep dogs on a leash and to stay with them in nature on field and field paths."

And then Georg Sixt dares to make a prognosis: "The wolf will probably always immigrate from the Isar or Amperauen - its typical habitat - to us and cause damage." It is uncertain whether a whole pack of wolves might be in the region .

Sixt believes more in a single, wandering cub.

Original report from November 12th, 11 a.m .:

Walls

- Well over

100 wolf packs

live in Germany, according to current official censuses.

Now,

for the first time in recent history, such a

predator

has also been detected

in

the Freising district

municipality of Mauern

.

As confirmed by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment,

a female animal was found dead

in a

fallow deer enclosure

on Sunday, October 25th

the

tracks

indicated a larger

predator

, an expert from the Large Predators Network took on the matter.

He assessed the situation on site and took genetic samples.

initially speculation about a lynx

because of the

paw prints

.

But on Thursday morning the state office reported: "The results confirm a wolf as the cause."

Wolf in the Freising district confirms: fallow deer torn - was it a repeat offense?

It is currently unclear whether there is a connection to an incident only a few kilometers away in Thonstetten (city of Moosburg): There - also at the end of October - a family

discovered a brutally mangled deer

in their

private garden

.

The circumstances were a mystery here too, the local

hunter made

a certain assumption at the time.
