Russia: Raids by wolves spark 'emergency' in Sakha
An influx of wolves preying on reindeer herds has
triggered a state of emergency in the Sakha Republic, in north-eastern Russia.Squads
of hunters will pursue the wolves in a three-month "battle" from 15

normal hunting grounds in the mountains and dense forests. Reports speak of
increased attacks on livestock, but not on humans.
