Comrade wolf in trouble in France

[palestine]

Hello,

It has been a while since I have been following a French website dedicated to the animal cause (one-voice.fr). They recently changed their website layout, and it's not the same as it was before. Still, an article recently caught my attention; it's about a back-pedaling in the laws for the preservation of wolves.

Technically, it seems that their status on paper changes from "strictly protected" to "protected".

Even if a survey indicated that 86% of French citizens were in favour of stronger protective measures for the Wolf.

Europe won over by lobbies, wolves suffer​

March 6, 2025 will forever remain a terrible day for biodiversity. Wolves are officially downgraded in the Bern Convention because Europe has fallen to its knees in the face of lobbies with greedy and destructive intentions.

During an exchange between Parliament and the Commission, MEP Valérie Deloge applauded the Commission's decision and asserted that it was necessary to "reaffirm the primacy of agriculture and livestock farming over the ideology of rewilding because without our farmers, there will no longer be European food sovereignty."

The downgrading comes into force in the Berne Convention, and certainly very soon in the European Union

The article expresses that it is a "downgrading without scientific basis"; given the above statement by some politicians, I would certainly believe it is indeed the Truth:

• reaffirm the primacy of agriculture and livestock farming
• the ideology of rewilding

The above appears very wrong as such has been a public statement. We know here how agriculture has STS roots - but - another problem is that the politician goes as far as to affirm that "rewilding" is an ideology. Somehow, it's about the basic consideration of the wolf in a perennial ecosystem that we all know of. They tax wilderness as "ideological". Well, good luck on that one.

Lobbies and main stream agricole structures are opportunists - so they just push. They serve their personal very low-level interests; even if they represent a huge share of the economy, it does not prevent:

1) The consideration of the Truth of agriculture as being quite not perfect - Whose voice will the Universe listen to?
2) The fact that it's about low-level opportunism, because of in regard of their petty big farms. Somehow, they stop acknowledging that it's on the BBM that they have set up their farms, and that nature is not own-able. They would spiritually stop being grateful in a very "basics".

As stated above, the citizen's voice is here and overwhelming:

Survey on French people’s opinions on wolves​

The observation is clear: 83% of French people are against the total eradication of wolves in France. Only 6% are completely in favor. 83% say they are in favor of banning the shooting of species in poor conservation status, and 69% want to ban exemptions allowing lethal shooting of wolves.

Nationally, 73% of individuals surveyed believe that it is unacceptable for the French State to have animals from protected species such as wolves slaughtered for the simple reason that they can represent a risk for livestock farming.

European-wide, 68% of French people do not want the status of wolves to be changed from "strictly protected" to "protected" by the European Union, because this would lead to a relaxation of the regulations for killing them.

Farmers & lobbies choose law-related convenience, rather than objective Truth.
