Four wolves have been hit by a railcar in Dalecarlia in central Sweden. Two of them were killed, while two are probably hurt and sought after by hunters. This is a great tragedy. Wolves are already an endangered species in Sweden, which has, nevertheless, been decimated by legally authorised hunting this year. We do not need the unnecessary death of more wolves.
If anything good can come out of this killing of wolves, I hope it will be to set the recent complains against train companies into perspective. People in Sweden have complained about the train companies and railway government authorities all winter, because there have been so many late trains. The death of two wolves and injuries for other wolves are a much greater tragedy than that.
