STOCKHOLM / TT
The Environmental Protection Agency’s decision last year to allow licensed hunting of 30 wolves was contrary to the law, according to the Administrative Law Court in Stockholm.
The Court argues that the agency did not refer to scientific support or other rational bases to allow the hunt.
Oscar Alaric, lawyer for the Society for Nature Conservation, believes that the verdict “pulverizes the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision.”
He asked on Twitter if it would not “be a little embarrassing” for the authorities not to stop the winter hunting.
