The County Administrative Board of Gävleborg has authorized a protective hunt for a wolf in Bollnäs municipality.

This decision follows three attacks on sheep within a close vicinity.

The hunt will target one specific wolf and is limited to an area near Hällbo and Kilafors in Hälsingland.

The hunt will continue until July 5 unless the wolf is captured or killed before then.

According to the authorities, there are no suitable alternatives to prevent further attacks on livestock in the region.
