The canton of Graubünden wants to remove four wolf packs. It has applied to the federal government for permission to "completely remove" the Stagias, Vorab, Beverin and Lenzerhorn wolf packs, it announced on Tuesday.
The aim is to prevent the proven attacks on cattle by the Stagias and Vorab wolf packs as well as the repeated overcoming of herd protection measures by the Beverin and Lenzerhorn wolf packs for the coming grazing season, according to the press release.
The canton has also applied for the killing of up to two thirds of the pups of the Rügiul wolf pack in Poschiavo and the Jatzhorn wolf pack in Davos, the canton announced. Graubünden applied for a total of 27 culls.
With the applications, the canton of Graubünden was reacting to the relaxation of wolf protection, which came into force on November 1.
