That's the true core of the story. Was the man truly trying to mislead authorities or is it more about authorities using the man as a scapegoat to hide their incompetence.

They were searching for a wolf. (Not really a standard task)

They don't have total surveillance, so also rely on public information

- a citicien posts information about the location of the wolf, a picture!

- authorities adopt their search based on that picture

Where is the incompetence here?

I swear, some commenters here think "the government is incompetent" is an axiom and work backward from there to fill in the details.
