FfFfFfFF 58,385 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 European citizens support protection for wolves, and the majority oppose the killing of wolves in any circumstances. This is the main outcome of an opinion poll among adults across six EU countries commissioned by Eurogroup for Animals. Conducted bySavanta ComRes in six EU member states – France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and Finland the survey aimed to better understand public perceptions and attitudes towards wolf protection across Europe. The 6,137 EU citizens who responded showed overall a high level of support for wolf protection, particularly in Poland, Spain and Italy, and a great level of awareness of the benefits of wolves to their local ecosystem. The majority of adults say that the killing of wolves is rarely or never acceptable in any tested circumstances, even when they have attacked farm animals (55%), or to control their population size (55%). While the hunters’ community and some member states have been calling for more flexibility in managing their wolf populations, the surveyed EU’s citizens disagree. Instead, 86% of respondents across the six surveyed countries agree that national governments and the EU should fund and equip farmers with the tools to protect farm animals from wolf attacks.

Learn something new everyday They used to live across the entire continent but went extinct in part of Western and Central Europe. Thankfully they are a common animal where I live.

audrey horne 1,180 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Happy news. One of the most vilified animal in human history. Fairytales, myths and shepherds have made us fear a literal wild dog, like c'mon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
