The Ecologist Coordinator of Asturias has shown this Friday its strongest condemnation of the placement of two heads of dead wolves in San Juan de Beleño coinciding with the meeting in Ponga of the Government Council of Asturias.
Ecologists alert that this “is not the first time of these brutal acts of violence” with the appearance of wolves’ heads on signs, swimming pools and other public places. But they also ensure that there are also “illegal killings, poaching, poisoning, setting fire to cars from the environmental nursery, coercion and violence against homes, cabins, cars, properties or directly against people who defend the right to existence of the natural fauna”.
They regret that these acts of violence enjoy “alarming impunity and a lack of persecution, since the culprits are never located and even justified by those who, holding public office, should look after the general interest and nature and be exemplary in defending impartiality and legality.”
They remember that the wolf is a recovering species, that it was about to become extinct and although its status or population threat category has improved, it is still not a non-threatened species and requires protection.
