The long journey of the Wolf-Ystads Allehanda

20 razed, off Abu Dhabi has caused concern. The young varghane, who, according to the County Board's predator-experts probably is about, first appeared on Wednesday, up from nowhere. In the middle of Skåne; It is not unique.
Wolf has previously been wandering long distances in southern Sweden and has also done the scanian travel. 1984 discovered Wolf here for the first time since the extinction of the 1860s. Both 2009 and 2011, we had occasional visits.
Attacks on farm animals, especially when it becomes as the fence outside Abu Dhabi, is always regrettable. Nevertheless, it is desirable that the Wolf manages to establish itself here. The Wolf is a natural part of the scanian fauna. Today there are between 260 and 330 wolves in the country, most of them in central Sweden.
When farmers would be adversely affected, when sheep or reindeer is demolished for other reasons than for food, we have a definite problem. The question which then tend to be asked is how much patience the society has with nature.
A militant animal welfare often förfäktad line is that nature always goes first. Human beings should protect and preserve what is, not eradicate or skyddsjaga. It is not Sweden's official Wolf policies. This allows protection of hunting, although hunting is not just license this year. The motif is extremely pragmatic. Wolves set occasionally to us humans, but rarely more than we ask of them. Wolves are – unlike, for example, wasps – not significantly hazardous to humans. In the wild, they are shy animals that usually eat elk, deer, Beaver, or Badger.
Competition for the game does not justify free hunting. Congestion with Wolf in fårhagen may be a reason that more often allow hunting license. The European Commission's stop of the Swedish Wolf hunt reminds us of this. The lack of a management plan for the Wolf tribe survival meant that Sweden last year risked being hauled before the European Court of justice. The plan that has been prepared since then will take effect from the end of the year. Thanks to Brussels .
The little Swedish Wolf tribe is exposed. The risk of inbreeding is large. Naturalisation is therefore desirable, and there are a number of good projects. It should continue. The Wolf, the bear, Lynx and Wolverine – they are our large predator. To restrict the freedom of movement of någonderas is not desirable, even if both animals and humans probably would prefer to be in peace.
It is a major problem that we have only one Wolf in Sweden than they actually visit us. But the introduction of the Wolf in Skåne is hardly desirable. This is too crowded. Instead, let the Wolf come to us naturally.

With the heart as compass-Swedish Dagbladet

A dream doesn't have to be long, either in time or milestone. The dream could be about to test a brand new golf course that Donald Trumps in Scotland (page 10) or to visit a city that we read a lot about, Naples (page 30). But feels like a long journey that larger adventures.
In less than a month locks a two-child family on the South door of his apartment and goes out into the wide world. In 180 days, they only devote themselves to each other and a well-planned globe travel (page 9). To use parental days just so is one way to make a long journey. Even more common is to drag directly after high school, but then the plans are often so vague and budget so tight that it almost feels like a dream – until after a few years when it lost vägglöss and nine and just remember all the amazing meetings and locations.
We tend to Dream otherwise say about trips to expensive, exotic locations, such as fits a 50-årsjubilar or a newlywed couple on honeymoon. Anniversary composers seems like exclusive destinations (page 40), while newly-looking for paradise beaches (page 12). Perhaps it was because I was a little taken last spring on Rhodes when a vitklädd bride blanksprejad hairstyle with landslides into the charter facility buffetrestaurang-balancing its plastic tray with food. The uppklädda genera were apart elements among us solsvedda hotel guests. Bridal couple had indeed received the travel tylldekorerad golf car from the sweet little church in the area, and hotellbufféen were among the most tasty I ate – but I did not confuse kombina-stances brick luncheon and bridal gown. According to the Hotel Manager, they would arrange 56 wedding in 2012.
The many pairs have different reasons for choosing that particular wedding solution and not a question of money. If you want to cheap out, one should rather take off to a fairytale strand and ragga priest and witnesses on the ground. I had to take a witness a few times when I lived in the Caribbean: the couple barefoot in close, the priest is almost too cool, I catch my spirit bouquet. So romantic, but is blank in my eyes, that both family friends were missing.
So when I would marry me, it became both church and celebration. However, I broke and her husband against the usual honeymoon arrangement and for one week – Boden.
How did we do?Well, there was a little travel weary after a year in Asia and my husband had the bright childhood memories from the North. Hardly a drömmål objectively, and snow and cold at the end of may, did not make things better. The last straw was when we first fled to bion in grårusket but found it igenbommad, and then would get our locked bags and met a uppbrutet cabinets, emptied the bags. It was at any rate a good story — and his marriage is over. But it is a completely different kind of trip.
