No more wolf: what a relief!
Sion, Valais, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Canton Valais angered WWF and other groups in late summer 2009 by authorizing the shooting of three wolves but in the end one of them will not be killed. The wolf in question, which had attacked sheep and, later, goats, in the Val de Dix, has not been seen in the area recently, say cantonal authorities, who say they would know if the female wolf was around, thanks to close surveillance. The shoot-to-kill order is valid only for 60 days, and the period has now ended.
