Here is your reminder that wolves are good for rivers.
Wolf haters are idiots that don’t understand nature for shit.
Money stopped caring about Nature a long time ago.
Wolf population in Spain is now around 3000, and is considered dangerously low for genetic diversity. What are the Swedes thinking?
Tell me about it! In Switzerland they voted to reintroduce the wolf in the country a few years back and this year they voted to shoot an entire pack… Humans, maaaan! SMH.
When did that happen? I only remember that we declined the hunting law revision but never approved anything regarding reintriducing wolfs.
Bah would you look at that, I thought we did. You are correct, the wolf came back on its own and was not artificially re-introduced. So a pack can be killed if it caused too much damages.
the swedish wolves were already hunted to the point of inbreeding before regulations were created.
The conservative government in power loves short sighted solutions
In several places that reintroduced wolves, government also pledged to compensate farmers for cattle killed by wolves, reducing the objections farmers had to intentionally increasing the wolf population. Perhaps a similar program would be appropriate here?
If they need to keep wolves away from certain places they should do the same Greenland does with polar bears: Catch them, put them in prison with shoddy (but edible) food for a couple of weeks, then release them away from civilisation. Bear parents then even go ahead and teach their kids to not get too close to human settlements, wolves should be more than intelligent enough to do the same.
Wait what? That’s hilarious. They traumatize the bears so the bears go home and frighten their kids with peison stories? They implemented a “scared straight” program for bears? Amazing.
I wonder if studies are performed before decisions like these are made. Just look at what happened in the four pests campaign in China, before doing any killing studies have to be conducted to see the affect on the ecosystem.
The numbers doesn’t match other sources. I would take this with a pinch of salt.
Can you link some? I tried looking at mainstream Swedish news sources and they have matching numbers. E.g: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/orebro/kritik-mot-licensjakten-pa-varg
Interesting, when looking around there is tons of sources showing different numbers all over the place. I settled for another SVT article https://www.svt.se/datajournalistik/vargen-i-sverige-2024/
The issue is so polarizing I bet tons of groups want to push a narrative.
Thanks. It’s the same in Norway: Wolves are hunted to technically-barely-not-extinction by some sources, and culled to “good for the wolves” numbers by other sources. Frustrating.
