The prefecture of Hérault indicates this Friday that the "defense shots" against wolves are now reinforced, in the department, to protect farms.
“The prefect [Hugues Moutouh] shows his concern at the multiplication of predation attacks by the wolf in the north of Hérault, indicates the prefecture.
Four [wolves] are present in the sectors of Caroux, Somail and Larzac.

Only qualified shooters and wolfing lieutenants
If the prefect of Hérault says he is "aware of the international protection regime for this species", the representative of the State in the department also recalls "the right of breeders to live from their profession but also the importance of the role played by pastoralism in our territory".
Only qualified shooters and wolf hunter lieutenants, whose role it is, are authorized to carry out “defense shots” against wolves.
Their reinforcement implies the mobilization of these actors.
