FfFfFfFF 58,415 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 In a ruling that will likely advance charges against a veterinarian and others who tried to relocate a wolf caught on private property in Romania, the European Court of Justice ruled Thursday that the species are protected by EU law wheresoever they roam. The case stems from Șimon, a village Romania’s Brașov province, where wolves have been documented in two nearby areas that are designated as protected sites of community importance. Court records show that the veterinarian used a hypodermic rifle to subdue a wolf that had been visiting a Șimon family’s property for the past several days, playing and eating with the family’s dogs. The team had planned to bring the wolf to a bear nature reserve in Zărnești. But, during the transport, the wolf broke out of the cage and ran into the forest. The Second Chamber of the Court of Justice backed the protections Thursday, saying the so-called Habitats Directive “applies to the entire ‘natural range’ of these species, whether they are in their usual habitat, in protected areas or, on the contrary, near human settlements.” Source: https://www.courthousenews.com/in-cities-and-forests-eu-court-says-wolves-are-protected/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 52,931 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'm confused. So because they are protected that's why they can't be relocated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if their being transported and they get loose, then that place is now their permanent home? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
