One of the few wolf pairs in Norway - killed by the authorities - from a helicopter. In Sweden and EVEN in Norway there is such a hatred and misconception against wolves that the authorities are acting shortsighted and unscientific. The media is under-blowing the wolf fear, old believes and special interest from lobbying hunters are dominating over scientific evidence that the wolf plays a major role in healthy ecosystem. In Sweden a majority wants a healthy wolf-population but undemocratically these public interest are set aside. Norway has VERY few pairs and still the sanctioned slaughter is going on. Take a look at countries in Africa or Asia where they are living MUCH closer to MUCH bigger predators like tigers and lions and where it is daily life. Even in Italy there is a wolf-population in the Abruzzi range just 150 km east of Rome. No fear, no hysteria, no hunting interests ruling - even here wolves are daily life. WHY NOT IN SCANDINAVIA ?????
