Sweden has issued licences to kill 20% of its brown bear population in the country’s annual bear hunt, which begins today.
"It is a pure trophy hunt. Wildlife management in Sweden is about killing animals instead of preserving them to the best of our ability.”
Magnus Orrebrant, Chair, Swedish Carnivore Association
Brown bears are a “strictly protected species” in Europe, so the high hunting quotas could be in breach of the EU habitat directive.
