The French Government is expediting the process for authorizing wolf killings following livestock attacks. The new plan, presented by the Ministries of Agriculture and Ecology, will grant authorizations within 48-72 hours of an attack, given that farmers have taken protective measures. The plan also includes the use of night cameras and shooting brigades. Compensation for losses due to wolf attacks will also increase by 33% for sheep and 25% for goats. This comes as the wolf population in France has more than doubled in the last five years, leading to increased demands from farmers and ranchers for more relaxed rules.
