#farmers: okay so its time to behead wolves and hang their heads on lampposts time!!!

[vettelcore]

yesterday i was reading about the wolves situation in my hometown and how on paper, they're a protected species and can't be hunted, but in reality you can get a permit to kill them, and how its basically given out to anyone who asks for it, making their "protected species" status useless and meaningless

out of all the articles that i read, this one headline caught my attention: "349 livestock animals killed by wolves this year", insinuating that's a big number and justifying the persecution of the iberian wolf by farmers???

how many fucking animals have died on the hands of humans??? one single farmer has killed FAR more animals than the entire wolf population there has killed this year

like what the fuck do you expect wolves to do??? starve to death after being pushed off their territories because some asshole wants to build a new farm on a protected land?? how the fuck does this make sense??

#farmers be like #im gonna let my cattle unprotected in a territory with wolf packs #*cattle get eaten by wolves that are hungry because humans are stealing their resources* #farmers: okay so its time to behead wolves and hang their heads on lampposts time!!! #<- that actually happens btw it was a big story a few years ago #this pissed me off so much #because then the fucking government here is like taking pride on their protection measurements??? #saying how its one of the best ones in the country and other places should implement them #FUCK OFF you pretty much give out licenses to hunt wolf packs outside of the church on sundays #a group of people took this issue to the european parliament when the whole beheading thing was happening but they were told to fuck off #so like most likely the wolf will go extinct in the next few years because we have to make space for slaughterhouses and farms :) #i think there's supposed to be a new law coming out soon for endangered species #but we don't know yet if wolves will be included or not :/ #hopefully they are
