"Human coexistence with wolves although not innocent of violence was a lived reality... and crucially not shaped by capitalist stakes. Seeing the wolf as kin or equal allows us to perceive the wolf, from the outset, with respect, as opposed to fear..."

"Wolves as cohabitants of human-occupied landscapes did not fit within European frameworks of civilization and progress. They thus had to be removed through the abundance of violence, direct and indirect, that is characteristic of set-
tler colonialism."

Such a good paper. Whilst it focuses on settler colonialism in the US in relation to land & predator management, it just as easily applies to the UK & much of Western Europe. Which is ofc the head office of colonialism. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

"Settler colonialism isn't just a form of domination over human beings; it's a form of ecological domination & violence. Settlers & their institutions determine what belongs on the land & move to eliminate/highly control beings considered pests or predators.."

Funny what people reserve their outrage for.
A. Children getting blown to bits in cold blood?
B. Scootering into an RAF base to spray some paint on a plane?
Decisions, decisions ....
We're talking about a group actively planning to attack RAF bases. As an ex-RAF serviceman, that's going too far. No way will I support or accept any such thing.

๐Ÿบ #Wolf - We don't think today's COREPER decision to delist #Wolves in the Bern Convention is right. Shooting this key species will not solve coexistence challenges. And: we cannot afford messing up with the #HabitatsDirective - many other tasks waiting. We i.a. need a #RestoreNature Fund!
Europe weakens wolf protection
EU Member States voted in favour of the European Commissionโ€™s proposal to downgrade the protection status of the wolf under the Bern Convention
