This is what the parties in the wolf issue think

“We believe that a more even distribution of the number of animals across the country is needed today, with the exception of reindeer husbandry areas, where the presence of wolves needs to be limited to the areas where it does the least damage. Sweden should have viable predator strains, but the overall predator pressure should not be a problem.

The Center Party still wants a situation where the wolf's favorable conservation status is reached at the level decided by the Riksdag in 2013 in the bill “A sustainable predator policy”, ie 170-270 individuals.

The Center Party is working to increase the chances of defending pets and domestic animals against attack by predators. In order to minimize the wolf's attack on domestic sheep, we want the County Administrative Board to be able to quickly decide on hunting for protection; we also see license hunting as part of the management model. "

“We must have a viable wolf strain at the same time that humans and domestic animals should not suffer undue consequences. Shelter and license hunting for wolves must be available.

We have not set a figure but not only the total number is important, it is also important that the strain is spread out so that the concentration does not become too high in some areas as today.

The wolf strain needs to be reduced in some regions through license hunting. In addition, protective hunting should be granted where individual individuals cause special damage. People who live and work in wolverine today feel powerless to not be taken seriously about the challenges of living with the wolf. Therefore, they also have no confidence in today's predator management. That's why license hunting is important in several aspects. "

“The wolf's situation is uncertain, partly because of inbreeding. To promote viable strains, laws are needed that lead to a viable wolf strain as well as dialogue with concerned citizens and organizations for increased acceptance of the wolf in our environment. We want to protect both biodiversity and reduce predator damage. Domestic animals should not be made more difficult. The regionalized predator management will continue.

For the Liberals, favorable conservation status is not just about a certain figure but also about how genetically strong the strain is. How many animals are involved must be based on scientific assessments. Such assessments can change over time, depending on, for example, how big the problems are with inbreeding.

We say yes to protection hunting and, in the opinion of experts, also selective license hunting. This means that animals that are otherwise protected can be pushed to minimize damage, for example to domestic animals. "

“The environmental party thinks that wolves just like other predator species have the right to live. We have a responsibility to protect endangered animals and biodiversity. But we must also prevent and prevent damage and conflicts that wolves and other predators can cause.

The government has given more money to measures that prevent predator attacks on domestic animals and to compensate for damage when attacks have occurred. This work needs to continue. The environmental party thinks that there should be a viable and healthy strain of wolves in Sweden, exactly how many animals it means is not the important issue.

The day we have a long-term viable wolf strain in Sweden, you can allow license hunting. Until then, only hunting should be allowed to kill individual animals that cause problems. "

“The wolf tribe must be managed in a reasonable way, and hunting for wolf is an important part of that management. To be credible, wolf management decisions must be made as close as possible to those affected. The basis of our policy is that the wolf should be able to co-exist with people. This means that the management must take into account the impact of the wolf on agriculture and the people living near it.

We have a parliamentary decision that we have a wolf strain of between 170 and 270 individuals, in line with what is required to ensure a favorable conservation status for the wolf. We still support that decision.

Protective hunting and wolf licensing are part of a sustainable management of the wolf. However, better local support is needed when deciding on license hunting and shelter hunting, especially in areas with large local wolf populations. "

“The issue of the presence of predators in Sweden is used by some organizations and right-wing parties to divide the country and create contradictions that favor them. We Social Democrats have a strong desire to keep Sweden together. Therefore, we must work to combat the conflicts and find solutions that both create opportunities for people to live and work in the countryside while preserving the species' survival and ensuring biodiversity.

We believe that the focus should be on limiting damage and ensuring biodiversity, but we are behind Parliament's decision on numbers.

License hunting is an important management tool for controlling and limiting wolf distribution. Shelter hunting is used to quickly limit damage to domestic animals including reindeer. We believe that both license and protection hunting are two very important management tools we protect. "

“In some areas of western Svealand and southern Norrland, the concentration of wolves is very high, and it is the opinion of the Swedish Democrats that the wolves in some areas need to be managed more actively.

In practice, it must be possible to arrange protection and license hunting without unreasonably long appeal times, when the situation so requires. Here, the environmental organizations' right of speech in game matters has raised concerns and the organizational requirements must therefore be reviewed, since in practice it was enough to be a Facebook group to appeal government decisions. Therefore, the law is problematic in its design and greatly affects the opportunities to conduct sound wildlife care. "

“We want a conservation status for the wolf that is sustainable in the long term. The Left Party has not decided on the number of individuals. It is also difficult to judge as the wolf is a predator that crosses national borders between Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

Shelter hunting is good from the point of view of removing the individuals who do the most harm to the reindeer industry, for example. License hunting should be discussed when we agree that there is a healthy wolf tribe. "
