Wolf killing in Sweden now legal :0(

No license to hunt the wolf!

2 January 2010 is the start of the first more extensive hunting of wolves in Sweden since the beginning of last century. More than 12 000 wolf hunters have signed up to shoot 27 wolves in the five counties Dalarna, Värmland, Gävleborg, Örebro and Surrey. Not since 1920 has been hunting of wolves in this scale conducted in Sweden. More than 10% of Sweden's wolf population is pushed away, even though there are no more than 230-250 wolves. The hunt has no scientific basis and contrary to EU nature conservation law.

Make your voice heard, write the list below, which will be sent to Environment Minister Andreas Carlgren and the politicians of the Environment and Agriculture Committee.

Society for Nature Conservation has decided to report the Swedish government to the EU Commission in response to Saturday's hunting of wolves.

As expected, it was out of control. Although we may have shot too many animals in certain counties the hunt will continue, "said President Mikael Karlsson to DN.se news.

In he’s eyes are wolf hunt a display of medieval behaviour:
- It emits 12,000 hunters with intense desire to get a wolf skins on the wall, to go out and hunt. When only 27 animals may be shoot. It is a wild chase on the wolf.



According to Mikael Karlsson wolf population is critically endangered with extinction, one of the most endangered mammals in Sweden, he notes.

• For hunting to be allowed requires a so-called "favourable conservation status", therefore, that the wolf population is viable. The government does not know if it is. It goes without saying that 210 individuals are not sufficient.

-Politicians have, according to Mikael Karlsson, yielded to the small but noisy special interests. And now the Society for Nature Conservation has decided to report the Swedish government to the EU commission.

• The hope is of course a conviction. We have been warning of this - I am ashamed. It is tragic and it threatens the wolf population. And it is embarrassing for the Swedish Nature Conservation who has been leading since the 60th century.

- however a conviction will not save the damage that is already done.

Hunting of wolves in Sweden started today again!

Despite massive protests from Animal Friends Worldwide and from EU have few people decided that 20 Wolves will be shot.

6.747 Hunters have started the Wolf Hunt. The risk that more wolves will be shot is great though hunters must report to the County Board each time a wolf is shot.

So far, 9 wolves out of the 20 have been shot today.

PLEASE write to EU and protest against the Swedish Wolfhunt. The EU-Commission is now planning to take actions. Here you find a letter in english as a suggestion: https://naturskyddsforeningen.wufoo....ves-in-sweden/

The link for the petition seems to be dead, or at least it's not working on my computer, I'm getting a message saying "Invalid compression used" or something similar. More sad news concerning wolves in Sweden here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14533400 meaning that it's even more important to keep the pressure up on the Swedish government.

Swedish news today

There are no licensed hunting of wolves this winter. The government makes a stop in licensed hunting, but expands the possibilities for controlled hunting of problem wolves, or groups of wolves. In addition, the government temporarily removed the ceiling on the maximum of 210 wolves in Sweden.

.......

It appears from the Government's response to the European Commission in their criticism of the Swedish licensed hunting of wolves.

According to Environment Minister Andreas Carlgren (C) is thought to restore licensed hunting winter 2012-2013. The abolition of the ceiling of 210 wolves, approved by Parliament, is under Carlgren not to an unlimited number of wolves is allowed in Sweden.

- Of course not. We will achieve a favorable conservation status of wolves, but with so few wolves as possible, he says.

The article continues ...
The extended protection in the winter to hunt under Carlgren based on security grounds. It can be about wolves attacking livestock or that a growing number of wolves has caused inconvenience to residents of the wolf counties.

The Minister can not answer how much the wolf population could be with the new policy.

- I do not want to speculate on it, says Mr Carlgren.

The idea is that the government next year will present a new target for the number of wolves in Sweden.

Carlgren emphasizes that the changes that the Government now decided is necessary for Sweden to retain decision-making power over the Swedish wolf hunting. According to Carlgren was a continued violation of EU Commission on licensed hunting have risked that last for several years before the question was finally settled.

Andreas Carlgren believes that the EU Commission initially acted very rushed and rigid in their dispute with Sweden on wolf hunting.

- Decisions should be made ​​as close to people as possible, therefore, the Commission's action unfortunate, he says.

- Sweden predator policy should be conducted with great consideration and respect for those who bear the consequences of living with a predator, that is, the rural population.
