Help Save Finland’s Last Wolves

Finland’s wolf population is dangerously close to extinction, and yet, hunts are still scheduled to continue

Wild wolf

During the August 2019–March 2020 hunt, 18 wolves were hunted and tragically killed.

Poachers often use poison and illegal traps to kill wolves, while hunters with permits are allowed to use helicopters and snowmobiles to pursue them. When hunters can’t retrieve the wolves they shoot, the animals are left to suffer from their injuries and may die slowly from blood loss and infection.

Wolves are majestic, intelligent animals who mate for life and have complex social structures within their packs. They’re also an iconic aspect of Finland’s heritage, which is at risk of being lost forever.

Take action by asking the Finnish tourist board and the Finnish minister of agriculture and forestry to end these government-licensed hunts.

Dear {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

I am writing to express my concern that the Finnish government has authorised the killing of wolves in Finland and to ask for your help in putting a stop to this cruel and needless attack on wildlife.

During the August 2019–March 2020 hunt, 18 wolves were hunted and tragically killed.

With the country’s very small population of wolves already on the brink of extinction because of illegal hunting, it is vital that Finnish officials take urgent action to protect them. Hunting inflicts injuries on wolves that may cause them to experience a prolonged, agonising death.

Rather than endorsing an assault on its native inhabitants, Finland should instead celebrate the presence of these remarkable and beautiful animals and encourage responsible ecotourism in the areas in which they live.

Please take action now to stop the cull and prevent Finland’s last wolves from being gunned down by hunters.

Kind regards,
