Sweden Initiates Controversial Wolf Cull, Allowing Nearly 10% of Population to Be Killed

Credited from: CNN

  • Sweden has commenced its **annual wolf hunt**, permitting the killing of **approximately 10%** of its wolf population, reportedly about 30 out of 375 wolves.
  • Conservationists criticize this policy, arguing it violates **EU laws** and could endanger the species, as wolves are considered **highly threatened** on The Swedish Red List.
  • The Swedish government defends the hunt, citing **safety concerns** for rural communities and livestock, aiming to reduce the wolf population from a minimum of **300 to 170**.
  • Despite reports of **increased anti-wolf sentiment**, leading to a **downgrade of wolf protections** by the Council of Europe, conservationists emphasize the need for coexistence with wildlife.
  • There are concerns that a decline in the wolf population may lead to **genetic issues**, with opposition voices stating the government's strategy seems politically motivated amidst rival hunting interests.
