Norway plans to cull 2/3 of its wolf population even though there are only 65 of them left. September 16.2016, the government decided to sentence 47 of these wolves to death coming winter hunting season. Thousands of happy hunters have already registrered to hunt, and according to The Guardian, wolf and bear are popular targets. This is an outrage and according to WWF-Norway, has not been seen in over a hundred years. It is such a big number, that the already endangered wolf are automatically catigorized as "critical endangered". Norway is now among the countries in the world that most likely treat it's critically endangered wild animals poorest. The decision is also an insult to the vast majority of Norwegians citizens who wants to preserve the wolf, not drive it further towards extinction.
The Norwegian government currently run an inhumane eradication policy, mainly to protect farmers and their livestock.
But considering the fact that farm animals on pasture are more likely to be killed by parasites, poisoned plants, human errors, illnesses or injuries than any predator out there, this eradication policy is not a solution. It is however, completely insane.
It is HORRIFYING that we have to fight our own government to save the environment, but if the government refuse to protect them, what else can we do?
Animal rights activists and nonprofit organizations are working around the clock to change this tragic desicion and we need your help.
Enough is enough!!
