And so it begins .. a young female of 9 months was found shot on February 15th, 2025 near the small town of Fiersbach, in the district of Altenkirchen. The autopsy performed confirmed death by pericardial tamponade due to a projectile.
Under the law this is illegal and a crime, and the Upper Nature Conservation Authority SGD Nord has filed a criminal complaint. As usual, this will lead nowhere – the, without a doubt, involved hunters and farmers are a tight-knit group who cover each others’ backs.
Interestingly, only 5 days later, on February 20th, the Rhineland-Nassau Farmers’ and Winegrowers’ Association and the interest group of hunting cooperatives and private hunting owners declared themselves successful with their motion to have the wolf included in the hunting law – meaning that it is henceforth to be regarded as a huntable species.
Together with the EU’s recent decision to weaken the protective status of the wolf this is bad news …
Also, it means, in our view, that one local party produced facts several days ahead of that decision by the state government and the Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy and Mobility Rhineland-Palatinate.
