Some 10,000 hunters are reported to be planning to take part - hoping to get a rare opportunity to bag a wolf
But it is thought there are only about 180-220 wolves in Sweden, and the Environmental Protection Agency has said only 27 can be shot

this is the funniest part:



The only easy way to hunt wolves is if we have snow, so the hunters can track them on the snow. If we don't have snow I don't think we'll even be able to reach the quota of 27 wolves," he said.

These hunters gotta be Swedish men, it only took 1 Swedish woman to hunt and beat up a "Tiger".

Swedish hypocrisy at maximum value. They are some of the loudest to protest our Canadian seal hunt.

Why do you say that, rama putri? You express anger at the possible death of an animal, but actively hope for human death? Why are you so full of hate and anger?

Lets hope Cheney isn't one of them or we'd have 27 dead hunters and 27 free wolves...

This planet would so much better off without us.
They are going to kill one tenth of the local population of a species.

Capital Guy, if you have to ask that question you will never understand.

Huh?

For all there will probably be a draw and a few selected people will partake maybe at a very expensive fee. Hopefully the money will go into conservation or a study why there is so many dumb people who value animals over humans..... It is so easy to stir up dumb people :p

i am sure a lot of thought has gone into this as surely there would be public outrage and the story is very likely inaccurate

There's 7 billion of us. Plus we're a lot more destructive and evil to each other and other species. No hate. Just disappointment at my own species.

I am a part of all that is natural. We are at the top of the food chain. Like it or hate it that is a fact but I do not take respondsibility for the other 7 billion that is just stupid.

Bang on.

If the numbers are right, the population of wolves has almost doubled in 10 years. That's not good for any population, especially one under protection as it originates from such a small gene pool and runs the risk of exposing the whole population to increased diseases and inherited problems. Chances are other wolves will be brought into the country from other northern countries in Europe to add to the gene pool. A 10% cull is not out of line and the chances are the weaker, sicker, older and dumber ( as odd as that sound) will be the large majority of those killed.

Just for the record, I don't hunt for sport or trophies, but I see the value if done responsibly .

What gets me is that Parliament decided on the number and unless the Swedish parliamentarian is unusually smarter than your average one, their ability to make that kind of decision properly is in question.

The hunting season has an end, as it must be before breading begins and there's some concern that the quota won't be met. Wolves are incredibly smart and it may take 10,000 hunters to reach the quota.
