The largest wolf hunt since the reintroduction of permit hunting in 2010 began in Sweden on Monday. According to Swedish television channel SVT, 75 animals may be killed this year. The country wants to slow down the spread of the animals.
“Hunting is absolutely necessary to curb the increase in wolves,” Gunnar Glöersen of the Swedish Hunting Association told the broadcaster. “The wolf population is the largest we’ve had in modern times.”
Disruptive actions by animal rights activists
A total of 203 wolves have been killed as part of licensed hunts since 2010, according to SVT. According to the broadcaster, animal rights activists tried to disrupt the hunt on Monday. It is estimated that there are about 460 wolves living in the wild in Sweden.
