Farmers closer to shooting more wolves under proposed EU law
From Politico.eu:
The European Commission has unveiled its long-awaited draft law downgrading the protection status of wolves, which would make it easier for farmers in the European Union to shoot animals that menace their livestock.
The bill, which answers a long-standing demand of conservative lawmakers, proposes to amend the EU Habitats Directive, moving the wolf from the list of “strictly protected” to “protected” species.
