Wolves have long been cast as villains in public perception, an image which has been hard to shake. That they can and sometimes do predate on livestock (and desirable game species) only strengthens that image. So, longstanding hatred, plus livestock = $.
They're good critters, but critters generally are.
Understanding this background may help with ideas for countering anti-wolf sentiment. Plus pushing for coexistence (eg, guard animals vs culling), perhaps other conservation tactics.
it was clear that this would be the much-vaunted ‘reduction in bureaucracy’: abolish nature conservation and species protection so that we can plunder it again with impunity.
the world is an evil place.
