The EU just made it easier to hunt wolves. What happens now?
From ThinkLandscape:
Do new culling rules for Europe’s apex predators follow science or fear? For many of us, encounters with wolves reside in the realms of children’s games and fairy tales – Little Red Riding Hood and The Boy Who Cried Wolf spring to mind. Each features a scary and unpredictable figure who sneaks up on us, or who we sneak up on, heart pumping and legs ready to run.
Primal fear of apex predators runs deep – even in the Anthropocene, when attacks on humans by creatures like wolves, sharks and crocodiles are extremely rare.
