Revenge environmental organizations Matanza of a hundred wolves by Asturia and Cantabria that they regard as “not to be justified”So they resort to administrative authorizations, so that they implement measures that avoid these kinds of situations that have one serious and irreparable impact in the state of Maintaining the species.
«We have appealed against the solution of the government of Cantabria and will also resort to the planning of the principality of Asturia, published on Monday. The organization demands its immediate suspension and requires regional governments to give priority to the impetus of preventive measures, in accordance with the Scientific evidence that Kill Wolves is not effective in reducing attacks on extensive cattle«They turn this on Associations in defense of this animal.
In that sense, they qualify as “disproportionate and unacceptable quotas of wolves that must be reduced, based on maximum calculations on the samples that form the herds.” For them, factors are not taken into account, such as the fact that herd members vary all year round. «Wolves are allowed to kill in the minimum era (from the end of the summer to spring)When they are formed by an average of five copies, “they remember.
Ecologists condemn Matanzas de Lobos in Cantabria and Asturia
Ecologist associations continue to increase all legal routes against the death penalty of a hundred wolves in Cantabria and Asturia, A random and random persecution that would have an irreparable impact on the state of preservation of the species, unfavorable on the Iberian peninsula.
«We have appealed against the solution of the government of Cantabria and will also resort to the planning of the principality of Asturia, published on Monday. The organization claims its immediate suspension and requires that regional governments give priority to the impetus of preventive measures, in accordance with scientific evidence that shows that the killing of wolves is not effective in reducing attacks on extensive cattle, “they describe.
After the departure of Wolf’s populations north of the Duero del Levre, the governments of Cantabria and Asturia have rushed to resume the systematic persecution of the species, Signing the death sentence of nearly a hundred wolves (41 in Cantabria and 53 in Asturia) within a year.
«We consider very alarming that the Cantabria government has deposited the first wolves in the middle of the breeding season, although the number and justification are hiding anywhere. It is a random, illegal and opposite measure for the case law of the national and European courts, and that is why we have appealed an appeal to request their immediate suspension, “these organizations call.
“Moreover, when writing the justification, we asked that each wolf is supposedly killed, to verify whether it fits in with current legality.”
- Dead wolves in the most sensitive era for the speciesWith women who are about to have their puppies, not only shows an absolute lack of sensitivity to nature. It is also proof of the terrible impact for the preservation of the wolf that presupposes the prosecution policy of the government of Cantabria.
- The Asturian government plan (announced on Monday), which also authorizes to kill wolves in the breeding season, although they point out that only “spread or individuals” who cause repeated damage will be killed. From the areas considered ‘management’, in the qualified areas such as ‘sporadic presence’, the principality Open the door to reduce an unlimited number of copies at any time of the year, something that is completely contrary to European regulations.
They remember in this respect that, although the population of Wolf north of the Duero can be the subject of management measures after the departure of the lessons, Setting hunting quotas or exemplary extraction is illegal, Because the populations of Lobo in Spain and in general on the Iberian peninsula are in an “unfavorable – inappropriate” nature conservation statement.
In that unfavorable scenario for the species, The courts have repeatedly ruled that “the restriction or prohibition on hunting can then be considered a necessary measure”, According to the Habitats Directive of the European Union. In fact, the Iberian population of the wolf is still very vulnerable, with very small genetic variability that threatens viability in the long term.
Disproportionate lobosquota to reduce
«We also regard the quotas of reduced wolves as disproportionate and unacceptable, based on maximum calculations on the samples that form the herds. For example, it is not taken into account that the members of the herds vary all year round, and it is permitted to kill wolves in the minimum era (from the end of the summer to spring), when they are formed by an average of five copies, ”empty spokesmen of these environmental entities.
In his opinion, neither Cantabria nor Asturia justify in any way, for each wolf depressed, The impossibility of applying another satisfactory solution to reduce damage to an extensive cattle: For example, the use of fixed or temporary mastiffs or fences, or hiring shepherds to check cattle.
In that sense, both regions have increased the compensation that has been paid to cattle and cattle for every attacked animal, including concepts such as unemployed profit. But the policy of Cantabria and Asturia in damage prevention is one of the worst rated of all CCAA, According to the report “towards coexistence or conflict.”
Scientific evidence is clear about it: Protect cattle with preventive measures, and not killing wolves is the most effective way to reduce damage and associated social conflicts.
«We ask Cantabria and Asturia to stop the persecution of the wolf immediately and to work for a real side by side with extensive cattle. We will not hesitate to go to the courts in defense of the wolf, and we will fight against any measure that endangers the future of this Vital species for the balance of ecosystems«They conclude.
