Recent wolf attacks in Ferrara di Monte Baldo raise concerns for hunting dogs. The situation has become critical, with an increase in pack aggression towards domestic animals. The latest incident occurred last Wednesday in the Montecucco area, where a hunting dog was killed while chasing a hare. The owner, after tracking his pet via GPS, found only remnants of the dog, highlighting the brutality of the attack.
This rising predation on hunting dogs appears to be linked to a decline in natural prey such as deer and chamois in the area, prompting wolves to venture closer to human settlements. Residents and visitors express strong concern for the safety of their animals, not only hunting dogs but also companion dogs and those used for truffle hunting, creating an unprecedented climate of anxiety within the local community.
