Another establishment which is so badly run that it decides to slaughter an entire wolf pack. How long will this go on/
Wildwood in Kent should be banned from keeping any wolves in future.
The statement:
Those who have visited the park will be aware that the wolf area has recently been closed.
There has been a severe escalation in aggressive behaviour within the Wildwood Kent wolf pack, resulting in multiple life-threatening injuries.
Due to the volatility within the pack, our team has been unable to safely intervene or provide the level of veterinary care required.
We are deeply saddened to share that, following this serious and rapid breakdown in pack dynamics, the decision was made to euthanise our wolf pack this morning.
This decision has been made following detailed discussions between our experienced animal management team and veterinary professionals.
Anyone familiar with Wildwood's work will know that animal welfare is always our highest priority. Euthanasia is only ever considered as a last resort. Over a prolonged period, extensive efforts have been made to manage the pack, support individuals, and prevent escalation. However, the situation presented an ongoing and unacceptable risk to welfare, and we were no longer able to ensure the safety or quality of life of the animals within the group.
The park was closed during this time to allow this to be carried out safely, calmly, and with the respect these animals deserve.
This is an incredibly difficult moment for our team. We are all heartbroken. Many of our staff have cared for these wolves over a long period of time, and this loss will be deeply felt.
We appreciate your understanding and compassion.
The Wildwood Trust team.
