Within the permitted perimeter, three young wolves from Augstbord’s pack were killed, among others. This is stated on the canton’s website, where the number of animals killed is published.

Accordingly, two of these wolves were shot by the hunting ranger. The third was killed by a hunter hunting foxes. An adult wolf from the Nanz pack and a young wolf from the Val d’Hérens pack were also killed.

Wallis has received approval from the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) for the complete removal of seven packages. This amounts to approximately 34 wolves out of an estimated population of 90 to 120 animals.

The hunting season lasts from early December to late January. However, Valais authorities admitted that the planned number is unlikely to be reached at this point.

The head of the Department of Hunting, Fisheries and Wildlife explains that the regulation of wolves has now started so successfully from the point of view of game wardens and hunters with the larger shooting areas compared to previous regulatory measures.

“The legal limits allowed in wolf hunting are, with seven packs, much larger than the permitted radius for removing a single wolf that could cause damage,” Nicolas Bourquin told the Keystone-SDA news agency on Wednesday.
