Norway’s wolves ‘saved for this year’ as animal rights groups fight cull

Government halts planned slaughter of animals in wolf zone', after campaigners secure injunction

Norway has halted a major hunt of wolves after campaigners secured a court injunction.

Twenty-five animals, within four packs, are in the wolf zone", an area of nature set aside to protect the predators, and these have been given a stay of execution by the courts after campaigners argued wolves in a conservation area should not be shot.
