"The charity claims long-term separation was not a viable solution, as wolves' welfare is closely tied to living within a stable pack structure, and isolation can create further welfare concerns."
"Moving wolves into other established packs is also not a viable option and would be 'irresponsible', as it would 'almost certainly lead to further conflict, serious injury or the breakdown of another group'."
"As the animals' quality of life significantly deteriorated and could not be improved to an acceptable level, the decision was made to act in their best interests."
"Due to the instability within the pack, we were unable to safely intervene or provide the level of veterinary treatment needed, meaning that maintaining any acceptable quality of life for the animals was no longer possible."
Wildwood Trust euthanised an entire pack of wolves due to severe aggression and injuries among the animals. Experts advised that long-term separation was not viable, as wolves require stable pack structures for welfare. Relocating them to other packs was deemed irresponsible, likely leading to further conflict. The decision was made after assessing that the animals' quality of life had significantly deteriorated and could not be improved. Attempts to sedate and move them posed risks and would not resolve the underlying issues.
