New wolf attack

At least 16 sheep were killed on Thursday because of a suspected wolf attack in Hjärtum, south of Trollhättan.

13 sheep were ripped to death, while three damaged animals had to be destroyed. Also, several other sheep are missing, which could have moved into the Göta river, reports TV 4 West.

The Västra Götaland county government recently warned about wolf attacks in the region concerned, after it was determined that a wolf pair had pups in the Bredfjäll. Thursday's attack was the second in a short time this summer.

Last year a wolf was destroyed which had killed around 80 sheep in the same region.

Nytt vargangrepp

13 får blev rivna till döds, medan tre skadade djur fick avlivas. Dessutom saknas flera får, som kan ha flytt ner i Göta älv, rapporterar TV 4 Väst.

Länsstyrelsen i Västra Götaland varnade nyligen för angrepp av varg i det aktuella området, sedan man konstaterat att ett vargpar fått ungar på Bredfjället. Torsdagens angrepp var det andra på kort tid denna sommar.

Förra året avlivades en varg som dödat omkring 80 får i samma område.
