Happy International Wolf Day! 🐺
Wolves are essential for our ecosystems but coexsitence with predators can be a challenge. Research has shown that the hunting of wolves is ineffective or even counterproductive and instead non-lethal preventive measures are the true solution.

Already 30 years defending the Finnish wolves! Congratulations to all the committed activists from The Wolf Action Group. 👋

[European Alliance for Wolf Conservation @EuropeforWolves]

Time to bust the hunting myths that have created so much suffering on wild animals.
Hunting of large carnivores is ineffective and even counterproductive to reduce conflicts with farmers.
The true effective and responsible way is for farmers to protect their animals.

The trophy hunting of wolves and other carnivores done in Scandinavian countries is unnatural selection with serious consequences such as the weakening of the genetic health of the target populations.
Studies on brown bears in Scandinavia, corroborate this. Check the full report.

Myth: "Trophy hunting supports species conservation"
Fact: Trophy hunting negatively impacts populations of endangered and protected species
The direct exploitation of animals is one of the main drivers of species extinction. https://t.co/67ET0r6deJ

Ecologists calculate that Scotland has space for 50 to 94 wolf packs. Wolves, will produce many environmental benefits, chiefly reducing the 2m deer that are living at a far higher density than in any other European country. @guardian

Poaching of wolves is a very big problem in Scandinavia. Between 30 and 50 percent of wolf mortality is due to poaching. So far authorites have not taken this seriously. This should receive international media attention. @guardian

A new record: researchers have verified that the male gray wolf known as GW1909m coming from the northern German municipality of Nordhorn reached the Pyrenees Mountains in northeastern Spain's Catalonia walking 1,240 kilometers away from its birthplace. https://t.co/kpEZoloZXV

Lethal management of wolf populations have negative animal welfare implications and are ineffective and even counterproductive for preventing livestock predation.
Protection of domestic animals is the responsible way forward @vonderleyen.

In a recent interview, the Luxembourg Minister for Environment, Serge Wilmes, stated that Luxembourg did not have any major problem with the return of the wolf and if problems with individual animals should occur there is the possibility of making use of the derogations.

[European Alliance for Wolf Conservation @EuropeforWolves]

The European Alliance for Wolf Conservation welcomes the decision by @environment_lu not to support the proposal by @EuropeanCommiss to downgrade the international protection status of the wolf.

[European Alliance for Wolf Conservation @EuropeforWolves]

This irresponsible proposal from @EU_Commission to lower the wolf protection is not based either on scientific evidence or public opinion.
"The proposal reflects a strategic, opportunistic and political move".

[European Alliance for Wolf Conservation @EuropeforWolves]

Without any scientific justifications and motivated by personal reasons @vonderleyen proposes to change the status of wolves from ‘strictly protected' to ‘protected'.
This proposal should be rejected. https://t.co/6FKjHK2WZt

"Britain’s surging deer population is causing an ecological disaster. I have a solution: wolves"
Thank you @GeorgeMonbiot

The narrow interests of the hunting and farming lobby groups do not represent the majority of EU citizens. @vonderleyen
Without wolves and other carnivores our nature is out balance. Let´s celebrate the return of wolves in Europe!

[Eurogroup For Animals @Act4AnimalsEU]

It's #WorldWildlifeConservationDay! 🐺🐻

An opportunity to remember that the return of #wolves in Europe is a cause for celebration, not fear, and that the importance of #conservation of #biodiversity should guide the @EU_Commission's decisions, not the interests of a few.

[European Alliance for Wolf Conservation @EuropeforWolves]

A survey recently published by @Act4AnimalsEU clearly shows that people in rural areas are in favor of coexistence with wolves.
Those calling for the hunting of wolves are the farming and hunting lobbies which do not represent the majority of EU citizens. @vonderleyen

[Eurogroup For Animals @Act4AnimalsEU]

🐺🐻 The results of a 🆕 survey show that rural inhabitants are in favour of #LargeCarnivores, including #wolves + believe they should remain strictly protected within the 🇪🇺 (68%) & have the right to co-exist with humans (72%).
