Wolves
The wolf is one of the internationally "strictly protected" animal species and is subject to the strictest protection category under the Federal Nature Conservation Act. It is therefore forbidden to catch, injure or kill wolves. Hunting wolves is therefore prohibited without exception. In order to prevent wolves from becoming accustomed to humans and training them to behave unnaturally (so-called habituation), feeding or luring the animals is also explicitly covered by the prohibitions.
