Court stops wolf shot: dispute over farm animals in the district of Leer!

In the Leer district, a wolf causes excitement! The wolf, which was released on November 8, must not be killed for the time being. The Administrative Court of Oldenburg decided on Saturday that an urgent application for the exemption must be checked. The company to protect the wolves had submitted this application on Friday and argued that the district repeatedly violated national and European regulations. The killing of the animal was approved without prior consultation with environmental associations!

The wolf has already attacked farm animals in Jemgum, which makes the situation dramatic for farmers. District Administrator Matthias Groote (SPD) emphasizes that the wolves also endanger the safety of the dikes because sheep is needed to keep the grass short and keep the floor stable. The debate about the wolf is becoming increasingly hot, while the authorities are trying to find a balance between animal welfare and the interests of livestock holders.
