It would appear Sweden’s Government is as Ignorant as some U.S. Officials in Office! What is wrong with Government I ask you? If they would listen to the great majority, by actually doing what they preferred Countries would be alot different! What a riot….. governments thaty actually listen to those that elect them, and not support them financially
Sweden is to reconsider its wolf policy once again, as the government has demanded a new, scientific study into the vulnerability of the country’s wolf population.
The environment minister, Åsa Romson of the Green Party, presented the decision together with the minister for rural affairs, Sven-Erik Bucht of the Social Democrats. They claimed that the scientific basis for how Sweden handles the size of its wolf population is questionable.
Romson said that politics rather than science has underpinned the decision to keep the national minimum population at 270 wolves. She is also critical of the fact that the size was determined through a vote in parliament. “The question is if parliament should decide this matter. That runs counter to previous praxis. We believe that science should determine the minimum size,” Romson said.

The move means that the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency will once again have to analyze just how vulnerable the wolf population is. But the agency will also account for the socioeconomic consequences of having a strong wolf population and it will do so with rural populations’ interests in mind, Romson insisted.
