Neustadt an der Waldnaab (dpa/lby) - At the beginning of May, a wolf killed a total of 13 sheep in the area of the Manteler Forest in the Upper Palatinate district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab. A genetic analysis revealed this, the State Office for the Environment announced on Wednesday. It is a previously unknown male wolf. He is not related to the wolf packs of the Manteler or Veldensteiner forest.
Damage caused to livestock farmers by wolf kills could be compensated for by the Free State of Bavaria. In areas with permanently resident animals, herd protection measures are a prerequisite for a compensation payment. These measures are encouraged in certain areas.
