Poaching draws a shadow over the image of the entire interior of Norrland.
All criminals are good at selling the explanations for their deeds and poachers have succeeded particularly well with the. It is time to stop seeing offenders as a kind of sparsely populated areas misunderstood struggling.
The criminals coming to Sweden is easy to understand. Penalty rates are generally low and the prison's standard high. The verdict against the Romanian so-called facade climber early autumn is an excellent local example of how decent the Swedish legal system may be against nonresidential criminals.
But as evidenced by the story in Saturday's OP is justice even softer against the Swedish group of villains that poachers make up. “In the case of illegal hunting, it can almost be seen as we live in a lawless country”, wrote Crime Prevention Council, ABRUPT, five years ago, and as noted in the article, there are no significant signs that the situation has improved since then.
The main reason for the misery is certainly the acceptance for his cause that poachers gained through manipulation of public opinion. “There is so much politics in this. You start talking about predators but ends up in a debate on rural policy. The post office closes and the contradiction between Stockholm and countryside”, says a great:investigators.
Just as it usually let in modern Sweden, where personal responsibility for their own deeds thinned out to almost nothing. Every time the stone-throwing förortslymlar attacked the fire- or police cars pulls Environment- or the Left Party to the Vandal defense. the crimes are “symptom” society's flaws - it feels again?
ABRUPT:s attempt to describe the perpetrators in different categories is interesting. The first conclusion to draw is the obvious - that the various ballast needed for different people.
A few groups – businessmen and status seekers - are reasonably small and manageable because they are basically rational and weigh the risks against revenue. The same applies to some extent the hårdfjällade group “livsstilare,” men with great hunting interest that hates both predators and all that can breathe friends of those. Some of them are ones that would qualify in the mob movie “The hunters,” others are socially well adjusted and should reasonably sky idea of a prison sentence. Getting the group to give up their lifestyle crime is something that civil society in the form of associations and the like should feel it their duty.
Remains as animal owners, and here's reindeer most problematic. To take up its role in the poaching by definition can qualify as an ethnic attacks, which makes the whole debate ends up in the kind of shade. It is not reasonable. Reindeer herding is drawn with formidable problems - wind power, mines - that threatens the entire future. But it saw his own future if there will be an end to the seemingly inexplicable disappearances of predators and prey in grazing lands.
“The main reason for the misery is certainly the acceptance for his cause that poachers gained by manipulating different opinions.”
