At 19:00 on Wednesday night, a wolf was shot and killed at Finndøla power station in Fyresdal. Jan Arild Ålandsli witnessed it all.
Get over the hunting team
Ålandsli himself is not part of the hunting team that killed the wolf, but witnessed it all on Wednesday night. He was on his way to pick up his daughter when he came across the hunting team.
After the wolf was shot, he got to see it up close, and also got to take pictures of it.
– It was observed in Krossli early today, then it was observed in Fyresdal this afternoon, Ålandsli says to TA.
Probably the same wolf
According to Ålandsli, the hunting team that killed the wolf has claimed that it is the same wolf that was observed repeatedly last weekend in the area between Bø and Seljord.
The Norwegian Environmental Protection Agency believes that there may be one and the same wolf.
– But can not completely rule out that there are more. We will investigate the place where the wolf was shot and take it with us. It is the state’s property, says Espen Marker in the Norwegian Environmental Protection Agency NRK.
