A wolf is said to have torn a cow in the Little Milk Valley

A dead cow was found on the Talalp alpine pasture in the Obwalden village of Klein Melchtal on September 4. Authorities believe a wolf from the local 'Klein Melchtal' wolf pack likely killed the animal based on claw marks and bite patterns. The canton of Obwalden stated that while the incident could be linked to this wolf pack, there are currently no legal grounds for an immediate culling. According to regulations, if a wolf pack repeatedly attacks livestock, cantons can request restrictions after approval from the federal environmental office (Bafu). However, this requires proof of at least two pups in the current year. Since such evidence has not yet been confirmed for the 'Klein Melchtal' pack, no action can be taken at this time.
