Are there many wolves in Brussels? Why is this something that needs to be decided on EU level instead of regional?
Give animals ways to protect themselves from wolves rather than hunting wolves.
How about hunting German “nobility” and politicians!? Especially those with ties with Putin?!
i hate that fucking bitch so much
For those with a brain:
> The commission has proposed that EU member states downgrade the wolf’s status under the Berne convention from “strictly protected” to “protected” after two decades in which the species has returned to many countries from which it has been extinct for decades
> Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the commission, whose pony, Dolly, was killed by a wolf in Germany in 2022, said: “The comeback of wolves is good news for biodiversity in Europe. But the concentration of wolf packs in some European regions has become a real danger, especially for livestock. To manage critical wolf concentrations more actively, local authorities have been asking for more flexibility.”
Translated it is no longer in danger of extinction and they are becoming dangerous for people and livestock in multiple areas.
> An opinion poll across 10 EU member states last month found that 68% of rural inhabitants supported continued strict protections for the wolf, with 65% of farmers still in favour of strict protection.
Can’t the trigger happy people just go volunteer for the Ukrainian army? Then they can go hunt human rights violators instead.
It is because she needs to appease farmers. protecting wolfs is highly controversial since they hunt sheep and other livestock from rural farms. This has led to outrage for farmers in the past
I mean she could use her influence and get this passed in Germany, but because she’s the European Commission president, it needs to be EU wide, so that even non-German wolves can’t harm her dear ponies again ?
…why?
She’s hilariously entitled. Only cares about things that affect her personally.
