Authorities Investigate Rising Number of Dead Wolves in Abruzzo National Park
The Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise national park authorities have reported the discovery of eight additional dead wolves over the past few days, bringing the total number of deceased animals found within the vast park to ten. The Guardian reports this latest finding adds to a concerning trend. “Disappointment is intertwined with despair,” stated the park authorities.
“It is a pain that ranges from deep suffering to disbelief.”
The situation prompted a criminal investigation launched last week following the discovery of a poisoned bait near dead wolves in the Alfedena area. This incident has led investigators to suspect that other dead wolves found in Pescasseroli may have succumbed to similar causes. Park officials reiterated their commitment to addressing the situation and emphasized that regardless of the motive behind these actions, they are unequivocally condemned.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to determine the cause of death for all the dead wolves within the park. The discovery underscores the ongoing challenges faced in protecting wildlife populations within the protected area.
