The incident revealed a questionable behavior of the animal that had lost its fear of people. In order to ensure the safety of the population, it was immediately traded, as governor's deputy Josef Geisler emphasized and praised the quick reaction of the East Tyrolean hunters.

On Thursday, February 6, 2025, the launch regulation was implemented by the responsible bodies, and the animal killed is now brought to Innsbruck for an investigation to the Agency for Health and Nutrition Security (AGE). The authority calls on the citizens to report the wolf's sightings and observations via a form provided on the country's website. The shooting regulation is canceled after the requirements are fulfilled, and the focus is now on the analysis of the animal killed in order to determine possible health risks. This underlines the urgent need to react quickly to changing behaviors of wild animals to ensure the security of residents, as well as tirol.gv.at reports.
