Dead young wolf in the Bavarian Forest: suspected poaching investigated!
A dead cub that may be a wolf was discovered in the Bavarian Forest. On a hiking trail near Rittsteig, in the Cham district, hikers reported about the carcass that had been there for several days. A volunteer from the State Office for the Environment (LfU) took on the case and collected the animal. It is suspected that the animal was killed by a gunshot.

On platforms like Arkansas Hunting there is a lively exchange about sightings of wolves and other large predators such as the red wolf. While there are reports of possible survivors of this species, opinions in the community are divided, highlighting the challenges that large predators pose in our ecosystems. Arkansas Hunting discusses that...
The wolf's situation shows that it is up to us to both promote the preservation of the animals and take agricultural concerns into account. The death of the young wolf in the Bavarian Forest could be a further signal that things cannot continue like this and that a dialogue is urgently needed to shed light on all perspectives.
