Official defends keeping wolves as pets
An Italian minister who revealed he is keeping wolves as pets told authorities Wednesday to feel free to come and investigate as he always needed “fresh meat.”
Animal rights groups have accused Reforms Minister Roberto Calderoli of breaking the law by owning wild animals and the Forest Department has promised to look into the affair.
“If anyone wants to visually ascertain what type (of wolves) they are, they’re welcome. We always need fresh meat,” he responded in Corriere della Sera.
Calderoli, a firebrand leader of the populist Northern League party, told La Stampa daily earlier this week he had the experience needed to look after the wolf cubs and had previously kept a tiger.
