Now it's official: The wolf has the dead sheep in Großhelferdorf on his conscience.
The State Office for the Environment has published the results of the genetic analysis.
Aying - The result of the genetic analysis by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) is there and confirms: It was a wolf that killed the three sheep in Großhelferdorf.
Farmer Michael Riesenberger found the dead animals lifeless in the pasture on the morning of February 9th.
They were killed by throat bites (we reported).
Since the loss of his sheep, the farmer sees his business in danger and is considering giving up grazing livestock and expanding the horse stable.
Sheep cracks in Aying: Wolf is still unknown - parent pack cannot be determined
According to the results of the genetic analysis, the wolf is a previously unknown male animal from the Alpine population.
The parent pack cannot be determined.
The wolf is now recorded with a number so that the state office can identify the animal in the event of another incident.
It is questionable whether Wolf is still in the municipality
Isolated wolves are repeatedly detected in Bavaria.
These are often individual migrating animals that have left their parent packs.
Young male dogs in particular migrate very long distances of 50 to 70 kilometers or more every day in search of their own territory, according to the LfU.
It is questionable whether the wolf is still roaming around in the community.
