License hunting under controlled conditions or recreational massacre?

I think that there are a lot of shameful issues to raise in the case of Sweden's licensed hunting on wolves and the media's reporting, such as the following:

1st – EU processes would already have been started, unless the government has decided, at the last moment, to submit additional documents - documents that were also developed by the main hunting federation and chalet business. Suddenly, they had made themselves a party to the case where environmental groups appealed the government's decision. Too bad we, the environmental conservationists, were not aware of this at the time.

In other words, without the intervention of the government, the licensed hunt could perhaps have been canceled. Then the government would have had a hot potato on their hands, having had to deal with the hunters associations to whom they already had promised this hunt in exchange for their votes in the elections to Parliament. Apparently though, the government prefers to be negatively exposed to all of Europe, rather than facing the hunter's associations.

2nd – Although the government has received serious warning signals from the European Commission, they chose to ignore this and to produce half-baked truths. Do not forget that the letter was also very timely lost - due to Carlgren because of this winter's terrible weather conditions - and that it was not found until it was too late, i.e., December 17, the same day the Environmental Agency was to produce the decision about the hunt. Adding to this, Carlgren's response to the EU Commissioner, Mr. Protocnik, was not official and known to anyone other than the Swedish Hunting Association until early January!

This was regarded so seriously by the EU Commission that they sent another letter and this time they went out with a press release to be really sure that it would not be “lost” again in the Swedish winter weather conditions. The warnings from the EU are very clear: Call off the licensed hunt until the EU has decided how to proceed.

And that's what a wise and prudent government would have done. Unfortunately, the Swedish media did not choose to publish these matters at all. Why not? The media should have perhaps paid attention to the fact that many people notice everything that goes on, and that they are extremely frustrated. So frustrated that they are going out in the woods and fields to at least try to do something for our endangered species, the wolf.

Conclusion 1: Neither the government nor certain media are acting with responsibility. However, can you imagine the headlines when the EU launches possible infringement proceedings against Sweden? Then the tunes are going to be heard loud and quite different. Then they will highlight the government's bad conduct and behavior. Then, and only then, there will be shocking headlines!

Conclusion 2: Lots of people are in despair, and the hatred and antagonism is much more extensive than ever before.

Conclusion 3: An endangered animal is exposed to an amusement massacre, carried out by more than 8,000 hunters. Animals are seriously wounded and tormented. Families are being shattered. Young puppies are left alone again. Nothing is done under the controlled conditions that were promised, and we are seeing the tragedy unfold again.
