A policy that misses the mark – understanding the errors of regulation in Switzerland - FIRST PART
The shooting of a female wolf, identified as F259 and wearing a GPS collar, is yet another mistake in a long series, which clearly shows that the way proactive regulation is currently being carried out in Switzerland is a failure in several respect. In this article, we choose to focus on an in-depth examination of the subject of regulation and the issues and abuses observed. We also provide information and possible concrete, official solutions that could lead to a better understanding of the overall situation.

Wolf management - The importance of ethology - Part 1
After two phases of proactive regulation in Switzerland, we can already see certain problems emerging, which would require changes, adaptations or consideration. Indeed, the wolf management, an animal that lives in packs (family groupings) and whose activities and movements mainly take place at night, requires knowledge and the implementation of strict methods! It is vital to avoid, as far as possible, mistakes and creating imbalances in unrelated packs. The removal of members of breeding pairs when the cubs are still in the learning phase can represent a real danger, both for the survival of the cubs and for the consequences on the attacks on livestock. The risks are therefore high, both for the wolf and for the farmers. Today, we are therefore addressing the issue of training anyone authorized to shoot wolves during the control phases, which is just one aspect among many of the changes that will need to be made in the future.
