the wolves violated the Swiss law when they overate the sheeps?!?

"Unbeknownst to the predators, the rampage had exceeded those tolerated under the official quota.

Swiss law allows predators to kill only 35 animals in four months, while in a month, the quota is 25.

However, that limit falls to 15 a month for protected herds, as in the case of the wolves' prey.

Animals violating this law can be shot."
