More wolves in Denmark as minister says hunting could begin soon

The wolves have started to be counted individually. If the numbers are high enough, the conservation status of the wolf in Denmark will be assessed as favourable. The minister expects such figures to be ready next year.

Then we can start hunting, and we should, he tells DR .

According to a new assessment, there are 77 wolves in Denmark, spread across at least 15 different locations in Jutland, Ritzau reports. The wolf returned to Denmark from Germany in 2012, after almost 200 years without wolves.
