Wolf Attack in Greece Prompts Calls for Hunting Rights
Hunters and farmers demand wolf culling rights amid a population estimated at 2,075, citing daily attacks on humans and livestock in northern Greece, officials said.
- Last week in Zagori, northwestern Greece, an 80-year-old man sustained injuries after a brown bear ventured into his yard in search of food.
- The increase in bear sightings in inhabited areas began about a decade ago due to changes in the Greek countryside and lack of rapid response teams.
- Wolves have also resurged, with a population estimated at 2,075 from a six-year study, and have spread into Attica and the Peloponnese region.
- Experts explained that the animal likely discovered food nearby on its own or was mistakenly fed by a person when it was young, and noted that its behavior is irreversible, making removal—ideally by capture—the most appropriate course of action.
- Hunters and farmers demand rights to cull wolves after a child was attacked this month, while officials trap problematic animals to prevent further incidents.
