Wolves in the united Europe are no longer under strict protection, their shooting is possible. About it today, March 10, informs the Polish Gazeta.Pl .
The European Commission has adopted a decision that allows the shooting of animals. But three countries opposed such an initiative.
On Friday, March 7, amendments to the Berne Convention came into force, weakening the protection of wolves in Europe. Now the status of the animal will change from "strictly protected" to "protected", which allows you to resume hunting and shooting. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said such a change would help local authorities control the wolf population while protecting agriculture and biodiversity. The changes were proposed by the European Commission, but now they must be approved by the European Parliament and the member states in The Council of the EU.
It is possible to resume hunting only if strict rules are observed. But conservation activists are already against it, as this may lead to the shooting of a large number of wolves and prevent the restoration of the species. The European Commission justified its decision on the growing number of wolves and the threat from them on farms. European statistics assure that wolves kill at least 65,500 farm animals a year throughout Europe.
