Sweden issued licenses to hunters to kill 201 lynx, attracting hundreds of foreign hunters to go for trophy hunt. There are around 1450 lynx across Sweden, and the country argues they only need 870 of them to maintain a healthy population. There is no need to eliminate lynx as they cause no danger to livestock or human. The hunt will take happen during lynx’s breeding season, when their fur is thickest which is more attractive to the hunters.
