Local farmers believed a wolf was to blame for the calf attacks, which took place between Brachtenbach and Eschweiler in northern Luxembourg. The Nature and Forest Agency submitted samples for analysis, but did not communicate further, until RTL followed up this month.
The samples showed no signs of wolf activity, according to the Agency. This information had been passed on to MPs in response to parliamentary questions posed by DP and LSAP members of parliament.
However, in the case of one of the calf carcasses, the Agency could not definitely rule out any wolf involvement, so the farmer in question received 75% in compensation, in accordance with regulations.
