Discussion Board / Wolves in Norway
« on: February 23, 2017, 06:04:20 pm »Greetings, fellow members of FeralHeart!
I would like to hear your opinion on an ongoing situation in my country.
We have less than 70 wolves in Norway, yet there has lately been a lot of debate
regarding them. The government planned on killing two-thirds of the population, which
is a terrible thing to even consider in the first place. I have never been so ashamed of my country.

Luckily, the number of 47 wolves planning to be shot was reduced to 15. Though I still see no reason to shoot them.
Wolves belong to the Norwegian nature, they always have. They are an important part of the biodiversity and their presence in our nature has great value. Slaughtering these beautiful creatures would be among the biggest disgraces yet.

I fail to see how these wolves are a threat to us. They do not see us as prey and will generally stay hidden from us.
Few humans are attacked by wolves and they are not as dangerous as some people try to make them sound.
Hunters and farmers are of course the most anti-wolf people we have, they keep this debate going.
Wolves are constantly accused of killing all their sheep, though only 367 sheep were reported to actually be harmed by wolves last year. The majority die of many other causes such as sickness and drowning, yet they keep on blaming these predators. It is all about the money, I suppose.

It is hard to say what will happen to our dear wolves. Hunters and farmers are quite furious
and have threatened to take this to court many times. There is a chance the majority will
be shot, but I desperately hope for the best. We already have so few wolves.

I just cannot believe this has become a huge topic.
It is heartbreaking.
