"#Switzerland signed the #BernConvention... in 1979... that list the #gray #wolf as a strictly protected species, meaning it should not be “disturbed, captured, or killed.” #EU countries...aren’t able to kill wolves except in exceptional cases, but Switzerland exploited flexibility in the Bern Convention’s Article 9 ...(allowing) cantonal hunting offices to shoot “problem wolves” that cause considerable #damage to #livestock with the consent of the federal government"
