1. I call BULLSHIT on this.

Wolves are leaving ruzzia because they have nothing to eat there. Wolves follow the food sources and they are territorial, establish a 'range' and stay within it as long as there is food. If the food goes away they do many things to regulate their pack size to fit the food base within the established range. There are decades of studies on this. Hunting wolves only destroys pack cohesion which, in turn, will cause them to disperse to other areas.

They 'take' old and sick animals so if a larger portion of the reindeer are being killed, it's because they are old or, most likely, sicker which means it's a habitat issue for the reindeer. The same animals in Alaska are suffering a similar fate as their habitat becomes uninhabitable due to climate change, too many humans in their landscape and pollutants, not their natural prey. As the prey base declines, the wolf numbers will follow shortly thereafter.

I could go on but what's the use?


What a fucking giant crock of stinky poo this bullshit story is!
