AN ENTIRE pack of wolves has been euthanised at an animal park in Kent due to “severe aggression”. Wildwood in Herne Common, near Herne Bay, said the decision to euthanise the wolves was an “absolute last resort” that came about due to a “rapid breakdown in pack dynamics”. The park – home to five European grey wolves– had recently closed the pen to the public due to escalating violence between the animals, which in some cases had led to life-threatening injuries. “Due to volatility within the pack, our team has been unable to safely intervene of provide the level of veterinary care required,” said the bosses, adding that they were “deeply saddened” by their deaths. The pack – made up of commanding duo Nuna and Odin and their three male offspring, Minimus, Tiberius and Maximus – were a beloved attraction among locals. News of their death has stoked an outpouring of grief and outrage. Advertisement
