Demand an End to the Harassment and Cruelty of Wildlife in Kazakhstan

Shocking footage has emerged showing a hunter hitting a badly injured wolf repetedly. The vicious man can be seen pounding the animal in the head on and on; the powerless animal tries without success to defend himself as he appears to have a broken back.

The hunter’s friend, who films everything, can be heard laughing and encouraging his buddy. At one point he shouts: ‘Hit it on the head, on the head!’

The man’s actions have caused outrage on social media as thousands of users are calling for justice. The hunter has yet to be identified.

The incident was filmed in Kazakhstan, a country where wolf receive no protection. Wolf cubs are not starting to be purchased as pets in order to protect land and property. Widlife experts warn that keeping wolf as pets is extremely dangerous.

This video comes only weeks after another hunter was spotted holding an injured wolf by its ears for a trophy photograph before choking the animal to his demise. The video was taken in eastern Kazakhstan and the hunter was identified as Erzhan Aga, a local expert in tracking down wolves. The man never faced prosecution for his actions.

In the light of these events, the need to protect the wolf population in Kazakhstan is extremely necessary. Keeping these beautiful and majestic animals without protection would mean their slow and painful ending.

The government should impose a complete ban on wolf hunting and should create special areas in which wolf population can be kept under constant care and supervision, to ensure their complete protection and safety.

Take action now and demand protection for the wolves in Kazakhstan and ensure that such sick actions are a thing of the past!

Local reports stated the man seen in the video had not yet been identified, though his actions provoked outrage after the footage surfaced online.
Although wolf populations are strongly protected in Europe, no such legislation exists in Kazakhstan, where wolf cubs are sometimes bought and used to protect land and property.
