At an elk hunt in the north of our county (Örebro län), a hunter had to shoot and kill a wolf. Authorities have investigated the case and found that the shot was justified. The wolf was attacking a hunting dog and the hunter shot to save the dog.
While the death of a wolf is always a sad event, I must also find the shot justified. A wolf should not attack another member of its species. If it does, killing the wolf is justified, if nothing else works in the heat of the moment.
I am glad that the dog was saved. In a fight, both dog and wolf may have been mortally wounded.
