The list of endangered species is very long... is it really necessary to think about the inapropriate idea of exterminating species that are (still) protected? Isn't it finally time to look in the mirror: who is really dangerous?And then roll up our sleeves to do what we can to make a paradigm shift?How much longer …

Non più specie “strettamente protetta”, ma solamente “protetta”. Il Consiglio degli Stati ha deciso martedì che sarà più facile abbattere i lupi, declassandone il grado di protezione. Con 29 voti contro 14 è stata respinta una proposta della sinistra di rinviare al Governo la modifica della legge federale sulla caccia. La revisione – di cui …

. Unfortunately, the story teaches: they yells "to the wolf, to the wolf" and then people victimise this poor animal, so defamed and hated because of the facts (real or inflamed) that have been put to the fore for elitist and propaganda purposes.
