Wolf opponents suffer shipwreck
Intercantonal petition Vaud-Fribourg to take immediate measures to eliminate the wolf/wolves in the regions of the Broye.
Petition for eradication rejected
Wolf opponents demanded the eradication of the wolf in the Broye region. The canton of Fribourg does not meet the conditions for a cull. “Only attacks on well-protected herds justify a possible regulatory cull,” the State Council affirms.
Wolf feeds primarily on wildlife
Wolf M212 killed 15 livestock animals in the past year. In 2023, no further kills were observed. The wolf does not regard humans as prey. More on the topic Wolf protection, Herd protection and Switzerland.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: The scientific evidence is presented in the overview Studies on the Effects of Recreational Hunting.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
