Swedish predator management with licensed hunting of large carnivores are threatened by an interpretative proposal from the European Commission.
Swedish predator management is threatened by the European Commission's proposed interpretation. It claims Swedish Hunters Association.
- It is the Swedish licensed hunting they want to. Instead, people in rural areas adapt to predators. You should fence the cattle. The owners should protect their livestock against state game, says Torbjörn Larsson, Chairman of the Swedish Association for Hunting.
The European Commission has proposed to update its consultative document on strictly protected species and how management should be.
