Wolves put down by Kent charity after ‘pack dynamics’ break down

A Kent animal conservation charity has said it had “no choice” but to euthanise its wolf pack.

Wildwood Trust, near Herne Bay, said the “heartbreaking decision” was needed to “prevent further suffering” after three of the five wolves sustained serious injuries from infighting.

The pack’s dynamics had broken down, which was risking the animals’ quality of life and safety, it said.

The trust, which says its “mission is to protect, conserve and rewild British wildlife”, added it had made a range of interventions to try and stabilise the pack.
