Wolfing It Down

This winter, Finland; Norway and Sweden are all carrying out wolf culls (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/15/finland-sweden-norway-cull-wolf-population-eu). Between them, these Nordic countries will kill circa 100 wolves this season. Conservationists claim that this culling is a direct flouting of EU laws. In many European countries, the wolf is a currently endangered species. Wolf packs also roam widely, so it is difficult to allocate particular animals to precise locations. Farmers are generally antagonistic to wolves and hunters love to shoot them. One hopes that the cull will, at least, be mindful of pack dynamics. Killing certain animals, could be highly detrimental to the group.
