Canton Graubünden has taken the very unusual step of authorising the culling of an entire wolf pack.
Getting permission to kill just one wolf is normally very complicated.
But the pack, known as the Moesola Pack, is being blamed for a series of attacks on livestock.
Cantonal game keepers say it’s killed cattle, horses and a donkey.
Game keepers will be allowed to hunt down the animals until February.
