A hunting team, which had loose dogs running in the area, experienced that wolves in the vicinity posed a threat to the dogs. The hunters then chose to shoot.

The County Administrative Board has evaluated the incident and concluded that the hunters followed the law.

We don't have any injured dogs and we don't have close encounters. But the law is written so that it's the perceived threat that's being assessed, says Nelly Grönberg, predator handler at the County Administrative Board, to P4.

Another wolf was shot over the weekend, south of Hjo, writes Ulricehamns Tidning. Also in that case, the hunters experienced the wolf as a threat to the dog. The wolf has not been found despite a search.
