Initiative against wolf protection

At the beginning of May 2023, the signature collection was launched for an initiative to abolish the protection of the wolf. According to the initiators' wishes, the wolf should be allowed to be hunted year-round everywhere except in the national park.

Protected only in the national park?

The initiative seeks to add a new paragraph to Article 79 of the Federal Constitution. The deadline for the 100’000 signatures expires on the second of November 2024. Hobby hunting fails as a population control measure. More on the topic of the hunting law, livestock protection and Switzerland.
