6 wolves escape Bavarian Forest National Park after vandalists opened wolves’ enclosure

October 17, 2017 - In the night of 5th on 6th of October, strangers opened the door of the enclosure of nine wolves residing in a zoo in Bavarian Forest National Park. Six wolves escaped. One of them got run over by a train. Two others were shot after capturing or sedating didn’t work. The other three wolves are still on the run. 

Efforts are currently being made to capture the three wolves, but if that doesn’t succeed, they too will be shot. The park’s management states that the wolves are habituated to humans, and therefore potentially dangerous. Others say the decision was taken too soon and that the wolves aren’t dangerous. Either way this is a highly exceptional case of vandalism in a wildpark too poorly protected, causing unnecessary victims.   

Bavarian Forest director Franz Leibl said they have sent staff to recapture the wolves. Experts are trying to lure them back with food, but tranquilizer gun will be used in the case that the food lure method doesn’t work. Shooting them down for safety reasons will be the last option.

According to Bavarian Forest’s experts, there is no chance for the wolves to survive in the wild as they were raised partially in captive. If you spot these wolves, do not approach them, feed them, or take photos. 

The offenders are being searched by the police, and a 10,000 euros reward has been offered for the tip leading to the offenders.

God damn wtf

Protip for anyone tempted to release a captive animal into the wild to “let them be freee~ uwu” just shoot them all yourself and cut out the middle man. If you’re going to kill something make it quick.
