Now, wolf hunting can start even in Dalarna. The EPA rejects the request that hunting should be stopped via a so-called inhibition.
It was the provincial government in Dalarna that in early December last year decided to license hunting of four wolves in the reindeer herding area and four outside. The decision was appealed and the Environmental Protection Agency overturned it later when the provincial government had not shown that all criteria for license hunting were met.
A week ago the provincial government made a new decision to license a hunt that involved two territories and seven wolves.
Even this decision was appealed. But the claim for injunctive relief has now been rejected and the hunt can begin as scheduled on Saturday.
At the same time the hunt ended in Örebro County after the twelfth and last wolf in this year’s quota was shot on Thursday, reports SVT Tvärsnytt.
