The wolf hunt slaughter of Sweden’s tiny wolf population is egregious beyond measure. It’s simply outrageous what they are doing to wolves in Sweden. Once again a small minority want wolves killed and are dictating policy. One of these groups is moose hunters. Moose hunters are just 6% of the population in Sweden but just like in America, a small minority gets their way with politicians. Sound familiar?
This was sent to me from one of my Swedish readers:
“……did you know one hunter did shoot of a leeg from the wolf, just to stop him, another wolf did get 11 bullets before he died”.
Please sign this petition that will be sent to Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik. Even though the hunt was allowed to go forward we need to let him know we support Swedish wolves and are against hunting them to satisfy special interest groups.

Here is another petition that was circulated before the hunts started. Click here for English version.
