The decision came under county team meeting at Elverum Saturday, reports Hamar Arbeiderblad.

– Those who have wolf close to him, especially in Trysil, Engerdal and parts of Eastern Valleys, experiencing insecurity. We have to take seriously. They want the pepper spray as a weapon to protect themselves. Today pepper spray registered weapons and not available to most people, says the first woman Aasa Gjestvang Hedmark Centre said.

“People feel that wolf moves within residential areas and courtyards, where it creates fear. It is dangerous when wolf learns that it has nothing to fear of the people, “it says, among other things in the decision.

Parliamentarian, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum from Stange in Hedmark, supported also pepper spray resolution. But he is not sure whether it will lead to something:

– I’ll see if this is something to take on to the national level. I understand why people on Slettå and other areas in Hedmark feel unsafe because of the wolf says Vedum the newspaper.
