Carnivorous wolf causing havoc among flocks in Southern France

In the picturesque town of Bad Kissingen, a tragic incident has occurred as a sheep was killed in the district, with investigations suggesting the involvement of a large predator, likely a wolf.

The Large Predator Specialist Unit (LfU) of the government has been informed about the attack, and they are currently investigating the matter. The affected area falls within the "Investment Grant Scheme for Herd Protection against Wolves," which applies to the district of Bad Kissingen.

The LfU advises livestock owners in the region to take precautions and protect their animals from potential wolf attacks by using wolf-repellent fences. This measure is seen as an effective deterrent against large predators.

For livestock owners whose properties are within the funding scope, compensation for damages caused by such attacks is provided by the "Large Predator Compensation Regulation" of the Free State. Additionally, these owners can apply for funding for the installation of fences to protect their herds. Applications for funding should be submitted to the relevant offices for food, agriculture, and forestry.

Currently, investigations into four other dead sheep and five injured animals are ongoing in the district. The total number of injured animals under investigation has now increased to five, and the number of dead sheep under investigation has risen to five as well.

The organization offering financing within the "Investment Grant Scheme for Herd Protection against Wolves" to protect sheep herds in Bad Kissingen is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results. However, it is advised that interested parties should reach out to the relevant offices for food, agriculture, and forestry for more information.

The LfU continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as more information becomes available. The district of Bad Kissingen continues to be under investigation for possible wolf attacks on livestock, and the LfU urges all livestock owners in the region to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their herds.
