Rösti is trampling on the will of the people.

The wolf population is to be reduced by 70%.

In 2020, the Swiss population voted by a large majority to maintain the protection of wolves .

But now the SVP's "Environment Minister" Albert Rösti is under fire because he apparently has despicable plans to introduce new regulations to combat biodiversity .

These new proposals have caused great outrage, as they contradict the democratic will of the people and aim to reduce the wolf population in Switzerland by a whopping 70%.

Petition against the wolf massacre

Let's stop Federal Councillor Albert Rösti's rampage: Sign the petition

In particular, conservation organizations accuse Federal Councillor Rösti of ignoring public opinion and weakening the protection of wolves .

Wolf attacks on livestock are declining

It is important to emphasize that despite the increase in wolf packs in recent years, the overall number of attacks on livestock has decreased. This is due to improved livestock protection measures .

Every year, over ten thousand sheep , goats , and cattle die during summer grazing due to inadequate herding and animal welfare by hobby farmers without a certificate of competence, and not because of wolves!

Interest Group Wild at Wild

The IG Wild beim Wild (Wild with Wild) is a non-profit advocacy group dedicated to the sustainable and non-violent improvement of the human-animal relationship. The group also specializes in the legal aspects of wildlife protection. One of our main goals is to implement a modern and responsible wildlife management system in the cultural landscape, modeled on the system used in the Canton of Geneva – without recreational hunters, but with reputable game wardens who truly deserve the title and act according to a code of ethics. The monopoly on the use of force should remain with the state. The IG supports scientifically based methods of immunocontraception for wild animals.
