Many of those who took part in the marches were hunters, but they say that wolves are not only killing working dogs, but also pets and farm animals. Sofie Rockmyr, who organised the march in her hometown of Torsby, told the Varmlands Folkblad newspaper that more than 150 people took part, observing a minute's silence before processing through the town centre. She said the protesters want to draw the "very great problem" with wolves to the attention of the authorities. "If things don't change, people won't be able to keep animals much longer," she added.
