20% of Sweden's bears could be slaughtered in a massive cull

Sweden’s bear slaughter is heartless, inhumane, and unnecessary. Stop the Massacre of Sweden's Brown Bears. Demand an End to This Brutal Cull! Sign Now    Arfin, Sweden is currently allowing the slaughter of 486 wild brown bears, which constitutes a shocking 20% of the country's remaining population. This practice has already seen more than 150 bears killed in just the opening days, and is nothing short of a brutal massacre, and threatens the survival of the entire Scandinavian brown bear population. Brown bears were once on the brink of extinction in Sweden. In fact, brown bears are listed as a "strictly protected species" in the EU. Luckily, they have been making a remarkable recovery over the past 100 years, thanks to conservation efforts. But the current hunting quotas threaten to undo this progress. This mass killing is not only inhumane but also unnecessary. Other options for population management exist that are less cruel, more ethical, and more effective. On top of that, the ways these bears are being killed is truly harrowing. Previously, it was illegal for hunters to use bait and dogs to lure wildlife in and tear them apart. Now, Sweden is allowing these sickening practices again — making the culling process an exercise in sadistic slaughter, rather than a managed wildlife conservation effort. Join us in calling on the Swedish government to immediately halt the ongoing bear hunt and revoke all hunting licenses issued for this year. Instead, it must invest in and implement humane alternatives for population management! Sign the petition now and help us protect Sweden's brown bears from this cruel and unnecessary hunt!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The survival of Sweden's brown bears depends on us. Let's stand up for these magnificent creatures and demand a more compassionate and effective approach to wildlife management. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
