There will be no wolf hunt in Sweden this winter. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has place a stop on the hunt points out that the Swedish wolf population has become too small. But in Norway it is planned to shoot 30 wolves, writes P4 Värmland.
Politicians who sit in the wild predator boards in Hedmark, Akershus and Östfold in Norway have suggested that a total of 30 wolves should be shot during Norway’s licensed hunt this winter. The politicians on the wild predator board also propose that three entire packs be removed: Slettås-Hoböl and Mangenreviren near the border with Värmland, with a total of about 18 wolves.
However, the question is not settled. Before the final decision is taken by the Norwegian Ministry of Environment in the autumn, it is believed that many votes will be raised to stop the license hunt on wolves, even in Norway.
