Wolf: CH Wolf demands protection of all wolf packs from shots

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The organization has filed complaints with the Federal Administrative Court. These are aimed “against the permission for the proactive regulation of entire wolf packs” in the cantons of Graubünden, St. Gallen and Valais, which the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) granted on November 27, as CH Wolf wrote in a statement. on fridaynight.

The consent orders therefore violate convention and federal law. According to the organization, the approved shootings are aimed at “exterminating the majority” of Switzerland’s wolf packs. This is contrary to the Berne Convention, which subjects the wolf to strict protection as an endangered species. The shootings permitted by the cantons were carried out “illegally”.

The importance of maintaining this predominates

“With our complaints we want to fundamentally clarify the legality of the shootings that have taken place and we also hope that the shootings will be immediately stopped in those packs where other environmental protection organizations have not filed complaints,” the wolf protection organization wrote.

After environmental organizations were granted a suspensive effect by the Federal Administrative Court against the Bafu scheme at the end of November, the latter and the affected cantons applied for the suspensive effect to be lifted.

However, after a “summary investigation and after weighing the various interests”, the Federal Administrative Court came to the conclusion that the interest in maintaining the suspensory effect outweighs the rest.
