Wolf killed in East Tyrol: Population breathes to according to the launch regulation!

In the Tyrolean town of Sillian, a wolf was the goal of a controversial shooting regulation. According to several sightings in residential areas by Sillian and Heinfels and finding a dead deer cadaver near a residential building, the Tyrolean state government issued the order to enable a risky wolf on February 6, 2025. The requirements were promptly carried out by the hunters, and the shot fell on Sunday morning. The killed animal is now brought to the agency for health and nutritional security (AGES) in Innsbruck. The shooting regulation for the affected area was then lifted, as Tirol.gv.at reported.

The deputy governor Josef Geisler commented on the circumstances: "We acted immediately. The shooting regulation was made on the basis of concrete incidents in which the animals have lost their shyness to people." This was a clear signal for quick action to protect the population. In addition to the wolf sightings, the circumstances also indicate an increased potential for conflict with the wildlife. The population is still asked to report any views of a available registration form on the country's website. Further information can be found at tirol.gv.at.
