Wolf snared in Spain

In the mountains of Barbanza, in northwestern Spain, a spate of illegal trapping has killed several canids, including an Iberian wolf. Snares have been set and it's suspected that it's part of a plan to remove wolf hybrids which are alleged to be in the area.

A demonstration against the trapping has been held and the issue has been raised in the local parliament.
