According to Markus Södling, wildlife officer at the county board in Sörmland, it is unclear which territory the wolf belongs to.

- Unfortunately, they don't have name tags, so we don't really know which wolf it is.

The farm borders both the Ärla and Sjundar districts, so it is difficult to know which district it belongs to, he says.

Immediate help

After the attack, the county administrative board was on the scene and was able to establish that it was indeed a wolf attack.

- We help in the emergency situation with fencing and moving animals to reduce the risk of injury, says Markus Södling.

"Can be traumatic"

He says that the wolf is a protected game and that the farm owner must now file a report and calculate the costs of the attack.

Then a decision is made by the county administrative board about compensation.

- An attack like this can be very traumatic and we are of course following up on the case, says Markus Södling.
