.Jaktkritikerna's Marie Stegard says Sweden's cull of 75 of its 460 critically endangered wolves is 'disastrous for the entire ecosystem' and that 'the existence of wolves contributes to a richer animal and plant life.'

"It's disastrous for the entire ecosystem," warned one activist."The existence of wolves contributes to a richer animal and plant life. Human survival depends on healthy ecosystems."Wildlife defenders in Sweden and beyond decried the start on Monday of what's being called the largest wolf cull in modern times, arguing that killing nearly a fifth of the country's critically endangered lupine population could have grave consequences for biodiversity.

While Gunnar Glöersen, the predator manager at the Swedish Hunters' Association, says"hunting is absolutely necessary to slow the proliferation of wolves," Daniel Ekblom of Sweden's Nature Conservation Society called the cull"tragic."Other opponents of the cull noted Sweden's relatively low wolf population.

;&#x201cWithout proper consultation of scientific experts, the Swedish government allows hunting & killing of a wolves species that is down to only 475 wolves. Shameful and heartbreaking, and"disastrous for species", as experts warn. #Sweden #wolves #extinction\n https://t.co/FEgF7GhKuW;&#x201dIt is obvious that there is strong political pressure for licensed hunting for wolves, and also lynx and bear.
