So after the wolves have been extinguished what species will be next? It seems though the wolf population was never high in Norway but stable in neighboring countries such as Sweden.

When do they start issuing licenses to the wolves to hunt the Norwegian hunters? I swear I've got an Onion-esque narrative running in my head as a defense mechanism against this story.
Who in the fuck is making that decision? To allow the hunting of an animal when there are only 30 left in the whole country? Wha?? That's just fucked up - defies logic. How strange.

The planet will survive and animals will come back. Different forms but will happen. We'll just strip the planet bare and die. Sure god is proud of his little fkn creations. Ha.
I do have a little more hope that you though, lol. Humans aren't completely beyond redemption. A lot can change fast with people. They just might pull their heads out of their asses and start treating the planet well before it gets to stripping the planet bare and dying. Maybe.

I shouldn't have read this thread. Just adds to my "I'm fed up with humans" thoughts and I see no future for the planet.
Great signature quote, Riverrunner. We will keep up the good fight to become a nation (and hopefully one day a world) that treats it's animals with the care and dignity all life deserves.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
There's no need to "screw Norway". And the nation is still "peaceful, happy and civil".
Half of the wolf population in the country is not going to be shot, at least not legally. Neither is the other half. The issue is controversial for sure: in general the views differ between rural and urban areas. In rural areas many find the the wolves, like with other predators, to be a threat to sheep and other animals kept my farmers. In the more urban areas, lots of people think the wolves should be protected or at least left alone.
Basically the wolves were wiped out in Norway by hunting in the 19th century. This was due to fear basically and the view that the wolf was a threat to the domesticed animals. There are many myths historically and culturally attached to this animal. These go way back and are to a certain degree inherited by the generations of today. However, there should be room for nuances in this picture.
A couple of months back, a wolf was shot dead after it attacked and killed sheep. This provoked many people who claimed the wolf just followed its insticts. Of course it did.
In politics, there are eight parties represented in the parliament. Out of these, I would say there are two that in general don't give a shit about the predator animals: 1. A party traditionally fighting for the interests of farmers (The Centre Party). 2. A right wing party (The Progress Party) which is neither socially or environmentally friendly in my opinion.
Three parties argue that the predator animals should be protected: 1. The Socialist Left Party. 2. The Social Democratic Party (Labour). 3. The Green Party.
The remaining three parties take a standpoint closer to the last mentioned than the first mentioned ones. (The Liberal Party, The Christian Democratic Party and The Conservative Party).

So since the current government is mainly the Conservative and Progress parties, what is the policy on this issue?

I thought Norway is one of the most peaceful, happy and civil places. Could be mistaking it for what I've read about Finland.
No matter in the end. I just hope those wolves make it to more peaceful, less threatening territory.

This erases my doubt- not quite China... but in that category.
