Nordulv is a Swedish organisation aiming at protecting the wolf as a natural part of the Swedish nature.
A letter from the EU Commission to the Swedish Government last week has made the Hunter's Organizations going berzerk.
Here is the letter.
Dear Magnus,
I understand that the Swedish authorities are compiling information on all the wolf decisions that will be shared with the Commission shortly. Such compilations are good and they give an overview of the whole situation but in this case the Commission is also in particular interested in the individual decisions (both denied and approved applications).
Commissioner Potocnik made very clear, including to Minister Ek, that the fate of the infringement case depended on the practical application of the rules on protective hunting.
Therefore, we asked that each decision would be forwarded to my case-handler Linda Nylund so that the we could make our own compilation and assessment. So far, the decisions that we have received without having specifically asked for them can easily be counted on one hand.
I realize that the officials in charge of the wolf issue are working under tremendous pressure but the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency must surely have a day-to-day overview of who gave the decision, when and concerning how many wolves, if not for any other purpose then at least to monitor the evolution of the quota of 32 wolves. Surely, SEPA must have the information allowing it to monitor the application of the rules, otherwise the situation would be extremely worrying.
Given the large number of letters and inquiries that we receive from all levels on how the protective hunt unfolds, I must insist that a copy of the individual decisions is sent electronically to Linda at the latest the day following the decision by the County Boards. This would help us continue to manage this difficult case in good faith.
Many thanks in advance.

The Swedish authorities are getting more and more provocative when allowing protective hunt for wolves.
Last week, January 25, a Swedish sami community "Mittådalen" applied for hunt of one wolf. The application was sent to the Swedish EPA without even a written signature.
The wolf hadn't yet caused much damage but nevertheless the county board of Jämtland accepted the application the same day, notifying the applicants by mouth that the hunt could start at once.
But the authorities didn't publish the decision. They didn't give the public even a theoretical chance of appealing against the decision.
Not until yesterday noon, 6 days later, they announced the decision. And just a few hours later the wolf was hunt and shot from a helicopter.
It appears very clear that the authorities deliberately waited with the publication of the decision until it was too late for any debate.
The EU Commissionair Janez Potocnik has several times in the last few months said to the Swedish Government that protective hunt for wolves should not be preventive, that only wolves which already have caused severe damage should be hunted.
The Swedish Government is not following the EU legislation and even worse, tries to stop the democratic processes of appealing and debating the decisions.
We are many, many, who are feeling a desperation and powerlessness that can not be described. We are repeatedly overruled and ignored by the authorities who claime to manage and protect our wolves.
Authorities who have not developed any uniform standards or guidelines, but just do as the loudest voices scream. And unfortunately there's only one thing they want: "SHOOT WOLF"
People with pastures, sheep farmers, and hunters with free-running dogs have for years been lobbying and screaming and now, finally, got what they want. They got license hunting on a fragile and brittle little wolf population - against all scientific evidence, common sense and against the Habitats Directive. Because the Government and the authorities have chosen to listen to them. They are allowed to shoot to get acceptance.
But what about our acceptance? Why doesn’t it count? Why should we have to look at the destruction of our wolves? Why must we meet all the hate and all the attacks that these haters are doing to us? They map us, they mock us, and they hang us out for the slightest statement in their own wolf hater’s magazines. Is this acceptance?
We have now, through the wolf named Kynna, clearly realized that valuable genes do not matter and that it doesn’t make any difference whether preventive measures have been taken or not. All the talk about letting precious wolves spread to new areas were just empty words. Nothing more.
The Swedish EPA’s recent report on culling of wolves shows that the authorities will do anything to listen to the loudest shouting lobby, and that they now want to get to a new candid license hunting, where preventive shooting of wolves in advance shall be allowed. They even want to allow deleting of complete wolf territories, with all its members.
How are we ever going to get a healthy and viable wolf population in Sweden? How could the acceptance of wolves occur in real life?
Our only hope is action from you, fellows of the European Union. Please help us!
Friends of the Swedish Wolf
Regarding the wolf which was shot during hunting close to Hagfors yesterday while attacking a dog.
According to the local newspaper the hunters don't want to tell if the dog was hurt or not.
The paper asks Lars Furuholm, the county council of Värmland, if shooting of wolves is more common during the annual moose hunt than dureing the rest of the year. No, he replies. It almost never happens which surprises me. The Hagfors area has had two wolf shootings the last few days which contradicts the statement by Furuholm.
A wolf was shot during hunting near Hagfors in the province of Värmland today Monday. It is not clear wether the wolf was hurt or killed. This was the second wolf shot in this area in three days.
Today in the afternon the wolf at Vikbolandet south of Norrköping was culled after a decision by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. Since on wolf was shot in the province of Värmland yesterday and one in Norway close to the Swedish border earlier today three Scandinavian wolves have been shot in two days.
A wolf was killed yesterday during hunting near Hagfors in the province of Värmland. The shooting has been reported to the police.
Kynna, the genetically important wolf in Southern Sweden, shall be culled according to a decision today by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
The culling is part of the continuing policy of the Swedish Government to keep the number of wolves in Sweden at a low "tolerable" level, no matter how many are needed to keep the species genetically healthy.
Genetics specialists (i.e. Linda Laikre, professor in population genetics at Stockholm University) say a thousand wolves is an absolute minimum. We now have around 200 wolves in Sweden.
I feel good, says Lasse Ståhl, in command of 150 wolf hunters.
A wolf is suspected to kill sheep at Vikbolandet in southeastern Sweden. No strict evidence exist. The county Government has allowed hunting of the suspected wolf. At least 150 hunters of the region will go out hunting it says the leader of the hunt Lasse Ståhl.
Please help us stop this madness. This is not according to EU laws.
