The attacks of the wolf that are multiplying, especially in the Jura, continue to exacerbate tensions in the canton of Vaud. State Councilor Vassilis Venizelos filed a complaint against a breeder following death threats.
(Keystone-ATS) “The field teams are the subject of pressures, threats,” said the head of the Vaudois Department of the Environment, interviewed on Sunday in the RTS developed program. They “come from all sides. The last comes from a breeder who threatened me with death. There a red line has clearly been crossed. A complaint was filed, “he continued.
“The objective is that such events do not happen again, to also protect my teams. Obviously I can understand this anger, to understand that some breeders expect a more determined action of the State. But certain limits should not be crossed, “continues the minister.
This announcement comes as many shepherds and breeders ask for new shots on the Vaudoise pack. Just for the month of July, the wolf killed at least 18 pension animals (young cattle, calves, sheep), according to the latest count of the canton.
“The current situation is not acceptable with regard to the multiplication of attacks. While policies procrastinate, wolves continue their carnage and the peasants, they pay the high price, “denounced the Romande association last week for the regulation of large predators (Arrgp).
