  8. 🔴WHO ARE THE #GREYWOLVES?🔴

    #Turkish national team football player Merih Demiral made the ‘wolf salute’, symbolic of the Turkish ultra-nationalist ‘Grey Wolves’, after scoring in a #European Cup match between #Turkey and #Austria on the 2nd of July.

    This gesture has been condemned by many political and civil society figures as a symbol of racism and hate. Even the #German interior minister Nancy Faeser denounced firmly this act.

    But who are the Grey Wolves behind this sign?

    "Contemporary Turkish politics marked by a particular, toxic cocktail of prejudice, paranoia and competing, appeals to both this exceptionalised model of Turkishness and a shared ideal of Muslim brotherhood – from which certain groups, including the Kurds, are explicitly or implicitly excluded. It’s therefore of note that Arda K’s manifesto links Kurds, immigrants, women and Jews as potential targets, drawing together the two bête noires of contemporary Turkish politics in (first) the Kurdish people and political movement, and (second) Syrian refugees, all precipitated with a healthy dash of sexism and anti-Semitism."

    "The Grey Wolves, founded in the 1960s, and the hand gesture that emerged in the early 1990s, could only become as influential as they did because there was a fertile soil in which the seed was planted. That fertile soil is Turkish fascism since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923."

  42. Excellent news! 5 were just released back into the Colorado’s Rocky Mountains wilderness. 10 - 15 more wolves will be released into the area by mid-march 2024.

    The wolves were originally captured in the state of Oregon, examined by a veterinarian, deemed healthy, then released back to their native land.

    I’m celebrating!

  47. 163: The EU Review of Wolf Protection Status

    https://open.spotify.com/episode/3TIXgTU3Rd1Lcn2moMsz0l

    The human-wildlife conflict with wolves has been brewing on the ground in the EU for some time. On the one hand, it has been fueled by a remarkable recovery of wolves across the continent, and on the other, by politicians trying to hijack it for their political gains. In September 2023 the European Commission invited “local communities, scientists and all interested parties” to submit the latest data in order to review the conservation status of wolves and decide whether to downgrade the conservation status of the species. Predictably this has sparked a lot of debate with clear demarcation lines between factions.

    https://youtu.be/oITfPp9o3ac

    To deal with this topic I decided to change the format of the podcast and in this episode, you will hear from not one but five experts in their fields. I felt the subject is so complex that to present it in the most comprehensive and objective way we need to hear all the relevant voices. By listening to this episode you will hear opinions on this topic from a wildlife biologist, Professor John Linnell, a goat breeder, Bruno Lecomte, a social scientist, ​​Professor Erica von Essen, an environmentalist, the Head of EU Policy at BirdLife International, Ariel Brunner and, last but not least, the Secretary General of the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation, Dr David Scallan. Special thanks to hunting journalist and blogger Denis Plat for his help in ensuring that opinions from rural France were voiced. Cover photo courtesy of Alick Simmons.

    While making this episode I recorded many hours of material and understandably not all of it made it into the episode. If you would be interested in listening to the individual interviews with the guests in this podcast, please click here.

    The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organisation. The participants are expressing their personal opinions and perspectives.

    To deal with this topic I decided to change the format of the podcast and in this episode, you will hear from not one but five experts in their fields. I felt the subject is so complex that to present it in the most comprehensive and objective way we need to hear all the relevant voices. By listening to this episode you will hear opinions on this topic from a wildlife biologist, Professor John Linnell, a goat breeder, Bruno Lecomte, a social scientist, ​​Professor Erica von Essen, an environmentalist, the Head of EU Policy at BirdLife International, Ariel Brunner and, last but not least, the Secretary General of the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation, Dr David Scallan. Special thanks to hunting journalist and blogger Denis Plat for his help in ensuring that opinions from rural France were voiced. Cover photo courtesy of Alick Simmons.

    While making this episode I recorded many hours of material and understandably not all of it made it into the episode. If you would be interested in listening to the individual interviews with the guests in this podcast, please click here.

    The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organisation. The participants are expressing their personal opinions and perspectives.
