SE: Wolf hunt stopped in Dalarna

Roughly translated by TWIN Observer

STOCKHOLM / TT

The plan was to have eight wolves shot in Dalarna starting 9 January but now the plans have changed, writes local media.

It was the SNCC, the Swedish predators Association and the World Wildlife Fund which appealed the County Administrative Board decision on wolf hunting. They want to have licensed hunting of wolves stopped.

“This means that there will not be hunting starting the ninth, says Ms Gunilla Skotnicka Ewing, head of the section for species and area protection of the Environmental Protection Agency to Dalarnas Newspapers.

Environmental Protection Agency has rejected requests for hunting stop in both Värmland and Örebro, but in Dalarna, they granted it. The area is near Ludvika and the reindeer herding areas in Idre Sarna.

The matter shall be settled at the earliest on 12 January and the Protection Agency’s finding would start licensed hunting then instead.

But according to Ms Gunilla Skotnicka Ewing there is not much going favorably for it.
