“Four were shot dead for "dangerous behaviour", local official Fabien Chollet told AFP news agency.

The remaining five were returned to their enclosure and anaesthetised by local officials who had been called to the scene.“

A huge shame! The wolves didn’t be asked to put in a cage for human entertainment. An already endangered species

A pity the wolves weren't correctly assessed before being added to a zoo!

Wild animals should never be in a zoo - large park for conservation in their own country maybe. Re-wilding is very controversial.

Re wilding animals is crucial to human survival if not we may finish off most of them but as history shows they survive many mass extinctions

Why? Wolves are part of the eco system, they are the main predators. They only reason that wolves or any other wild animal poses a risk to humans is because humans destroy their habitat for their own use. Where are they supposed to hunt if their habitat is becoming increasingly smaller? Also their food supply also becomes increasingly smaller… it all goes hand in hand.

We need to stop encroaching on wildlife, then maybe there won’t be attacks. In the UK we have urban foxes, because houses have been built on their habitat, there is nowhere for them to go!

Read the article...it's been reported for numerous safety failings for the animal enclosures for a long time.

Even so, zoos have to maintain enclosures for safety to both animals & the public. If they can’t do that then yes close it down, but without killing the animals

Do people actually think that a wild animal is going to behave in a civilised manner, like a domestic dog does?

“"There were not many people in the zoo at the time and at no time was the public in immediate danger," said Mr Chollet.”

Four wolves were shot dead for ‘dangerous behaviour’ but at no time was the public in immediate danger…… so if no one was in immediate danger why were they shot?

I'd like to be one of the volunteers that take care of them. They do live in a secret location. So Tom should probably be very wary of visiting Shropshire.

This incident typifies human stupidity; if nine wolves were being brought to live in a relatively small zoo, the facilities should have been designed and built to successfully contain them.

Wolves are known to be highly intelligent resourceful cooperative and determined animals that have a history of exploiting weaknesses of either their prey or their environment to achieve their objective: freedom.

From what I have read, the facilities at this zoo were wholly inadequate; what a shame some wolves were killed, doing what they have evolved to do; survive and thrive in the most adverse circumstances

"We should have urban wolves, they would help keep the urban foxes under control."

Wolves have an intrinsic predatory nature, which as developed over billennia, that is ideally suited to a wild untamed natural environment, where they are at the apex of the food chain.

In the urban environment, humans rank below wolves on the food chain and thus become fair game.

Foxes can live secretly in cities, and are primarily nocturnal and thus avoid human contact. Foxes are scavengers; wolves are very highly organised, strategic predators.

Wolves do not actively hunt humans. The only creature on Earth that currently does is the the Polar Bear.

Having said that Wolves will of course attack if cornered or threatened. Pretty much like most predators.

They will have been killed as Wolves can easily decimate expensive livestock and, if left to establish themselves, effect the local food chain which again isn't to farmer's liking.

"At least no lives were lost.. "

There were the lives of the wolves, of course.

And is is typical of many organizations, a lot of stupidity was evident in the inadequate facilities, a lack of foresight in anticipating that animals with extreme intelligence would try to escape, and a lack of planning on non-lethal contingencies in the event of an escape.

Just realised, the thread title is incorrect, the errors didn't escape from the zoo, they escaped from their enclosure but regained in the zoo.

Foresight by the staff at an established French zoo was sadly lacking; nine valuable wolves have been needlessly lost to the breeding program.

Was it human error or ingenuity by the wolf pack. There is usually a leader amongst them and more likely that he orchestrated the mass escape. He did not realise that police snipers would react so quickly... If not for these brave marksman then the death toll could have been much higher..

Well I think any totally wild animal shouldn’t be in a cage or small enclosure in a zoo for close contact with visitors - that’s what I meant by assessment. Animals that have been hand reared or had regular contact with people may be different.

I am no wolf expert but I know what history tells us.. they have leaders and hunt in packs.. without quick action by the gendarmes then for sure a young child or babe in a cot would have been taken.. some knock the french but on this occasion they acted swiftly and decicively before a life was lost..

If you take the pack leaders out then the rest cower and retreat ... I reckon they took out the alpha dog and the rest fled.. wolfs are cowards deep down..

This has happened before regarding wolves .by there nature like other species wolves are masters at digging underground and have actually tunneled under fences in enclosure s and escaped to freedom only for zoo keeper's and the local police either shoot them are recapture them ,it's not the first time this has happened and won't be the last.

All wolves, of which there are 36 subspecies, are not simply 'related' to the dog family.

Taxonomically, Linnaeus classified wolves as actual members of the canine

family, and using his binomial nomenclature they are defined as Canis Lupus, with a further subspecies called Canis Lupus Lupus.

Wolves generally are not an endangered species, despite massive habitat loss caused principally by human encroachment.

Wouldn't they just get a regular dog? Same as people had been doing for at least 12,000 years before them.
