Graubünden: Poaching of the Wolf
In addition to two known cases of poaching in Graubünden, three further cases of possible illegal wolf killings have emerged.
Five cases of poaching
Two cases of illegally shot wolves were already known in Graubünden. Now research by SRF News reveals that three further animals were illegally shot since then. Nature photographer Peter Dettling suspects “massive poaching in the Surselva”.

Dettling calls for more thorough investigations and the publication of poaching attempts. More on the topic of crime and hunting, wolf protection and Switzerland.
