WORLD : Villagers Mourn Death of Wolf
<i> From Times wire service</i> s
STOCKHOLM —
The villagers of Langa today mourned the loss of one of Sweden’s last wolves, which had made friends with villagers’ dogs but pillaged reindeer herds.
The wolf was killed last week, six months after wandering into the area displaying an unusual lack of fear of humans. A $1,600 reward was offered for the arrest of the killer. Reindeer herdsmen denied responsibility.
The wolf’s death left only nine known wolves roaming wild in the valleys and deep forests of Sweden.
