Wolf killed on A15: animal expertise after accident in Brandenburg!

On Thursday morning, November 6, 2025, a tragic incident occurred on the A15 between Bademeusel and Forst (Spree-Neisse) that attracted public attention. A driver hit a wolf, which died after the collision. Fortunately, the driver was uninjured and was able to continue driving his vehicle despite the damage. The dead wolf is now examined by an expert to find out whether it belonged to a pack or lived as a solitary animal. This situation raises questions about wildlife and road safety. After all, a total of 1,324 dead wolves have been documented in Germany in the last 35 years, with most cases being due to traffic accidents. In Brandenburg alone there are now 54 wolf packs living in 60 confirmed areas, which explains the high number of dead wolves in this region. The record also shows that 411 wolves have lost their lives in Brandenburg since 1990, underscoring the worrying numbers that Tagesschau has documented.

What does the hunting season look like during these times? Dealing with wild animals such as wolves is more important than ever. Many hunters have adapted to hunting deer and wild boar, using different ammunition. A hunter who recently made the rounds with the 7.62×39 cartridge and his SKS rifle reported on his experiences. He has already killed several deer with this cartridge, but the bullets always explode and fragment. This cartridge costs about $7 per box and is popular with many hunters. Such reports, such as those found on Arkansas Hunting, reflect a healthy interest in hunting culture and the efficient techniques hunters use.

Wolves in the public eye

The discussion about wolves and their role in nature is not limited to Germany. The intensive observation of wild animals and their behavior causes lively debates on social media and hunting circles. In a time when nature conservation and hunting often clash, there are always attempts to find a balance between the interests of nature and humanity.

At the same time, topics relating to hunting and nature continue to develop in various media formats. For example, in series and dramas that focus on the interaction between humans and animals. Especially here you can take a look at the romantic period drama “Fated Hearts” on streaming providers like iQIYI, which deals with themes such as betrayal, love and fate. The interesting plot about the female archer Fu Yixiao draws attention to what is possible in nature, and one wonders how much of it also reflects our own experiences. The relationship between humans and nature is impressively portrayed by directors such as Chu Yuibun and Francis Nam, which makes us think about our responsibility towards wildlife.

The issue of non-violent coexistence and responsibility in hunting and dealing with wild animals is more present than ever and challenges us to find answers. Whether walking in the forest or hunting, nature is a place full of surprises and potential dangers that are worth treating with respect.
