Swedes hold candelight vigils for dogs killed by wolves
The Local ^ | 13 Nov 2016

Evening marches were held in the towns of Torsby, Ockelbo, Uppsala, Mora, Jönköping, and Nora, all of which are places where hunting is a popular sport.

“It’s a problem that is just getting worse and worse,” Sofie Rockmyr, from Torsby, a small town close to the Norwegian border, told The Local. “It’s about a lot more than just hunting dogs, it’s also pets and livestock.”

According to the local Värmlands Folkblad newspaper, the group held a minute's silence for dogs who had been killed.

Rockmyr said that although her own hunting dogs had so far escaped unscathed, several of her friends had lost animals to wolf attacks.

“It’s always something you’re afraid of,” she said. “I know lots of people whose dogs have been killed, and also dogs that have survived after being attacked by a wolf.”

The protesters were calling for the issue of permits to hunt wolves in the area, in a move to bring down the population.

Sweden this year issued a temporary ruling allowing 14 of the country’s then estimated 400 wolves to be killed between January 2 and the end of the hunting season on February 15th.

I think this was the idea for publicity.

"The protesters were calling for the issue of permits to hunt wolves in the area, in a move to bring down the population."

And I think those of you who don't live in rural areas with these monsters are very very clueless. These are not only extremely dangerous, aggressive, and huge monsters roaming rural areas. They are a tool of the left to rewild rural land and a strong favorite of the EPA.

Wish they’d release 400 wolves in my county. 85% chance of them eating a Hillary voter.

Maybe if they’d feed the wolves they’d be left alone...?

Permits? Shoot Shovel & Shut UP.

The same kind of problem is already causing havoc in the USA.

The problem with that here is that they have mortality collars on. Shows the exact spot they died on some map.

Our neighborhood has talked about wolves.
