- The wolf was captured after attacking a woman in Hamburg and was released again after a week in a sanctuary in Lower Saxony.
- Equipped with a GPS collar, the animal's location can be monitored continuously to enable quick intervention if needed.
- The incident occurred in a shopping arcade where the woman reportedly tried to shoo the animal away; conservationists dispute that a bite happened.
- On Easter Sunday, around 100 to 150 animal supporters gathered at Jungfernstieg to advocate for the wolf's freedom.
With the release back into the wild, we have now found a legally sound solution for this wolf that takes into account the safety of the citizens and the animal's welfare. It is a release on probation.— Environment Senator Katharina Fegebank (Greens) explained the Hamburg environmental authority
