Poachers hunt wolves in Brandenburg

In another worrying development, a wolf was shot, probably illegally, in the Oder-Spree district of Brandenburg. Witnesses found the dead animal with a gunshot wound in the estate area on Monday afternoon, which alerted the police to suspicions of poaching. Investigations into how rbb24.de reported are already running. It is feared that this will not be the only incident, as according to official figures there have already been four proven illegal killings of wolves in Brandenburg this year. The law on wolves, a legally protected animal, is subject to strict regulations, and farmers and hunters have long called for a reduction in the wolf population due to attacks on livestock.

Both incidents not only highlight the profound problems in Germany's hunting and wildlife policy, but also raise questions about transparency in economic matters within hunting clubs.
