Still Waters Posted January 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2013 An influx of wolves preying on reindeer herds has triggered a state of emergency in the Sakha Republic, in north-eastern Russia. Squads of hunters will pursue the wolves in a three-month "battle" from 15 January, officials say. The most successful hunters will get bonuses. The vast, sparsely populated region is also known as Yakutia. Experts quoted by Russian media believe a shortage of mountain hares has caused the migration of hungry wolves. http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-20932461 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted January 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2013 To bad, that is a tough choice. Reindeer are a natural prey for wolves, but farmers depend on their herds to feed their families. Really sad, I fear in the end we shall lose most predators in the wild.
