For the government of Sweden, having 237 wolves in the entire nation is a few too many. The wolves were nearly made extinct by hunting in Scandinavia until the activity was banned in the mid 60s. But now, after 45 years, the country's parliament has issued a decree allowing the population of wolves to be reduced to what it deems an appropriate maximum: 210 wolves.

On what do they base the fact that 237 is "too many?" And why the hell would you hunt wolves? :wtf:

I'd say about 10 000 at the max. All of them fit females between the ages of 18 and 30.

Winter jackets, fur coats, etc?

I don think a pride of wolfs would grow bigger if the environment doesn´t allow it to do so.
