From Echo Moskvy:
Users of a British social networking site are collecting signatures to protect wolves in Yakutia
They are demanding an end to the shooting of the predators.
A battle against wolves has been declared in five regions of Yakutia – wolves are attacking herds of deer more and more often. The hunting season is open all year round.
Comments from Echo Moskvy:

We’re still in the Stone Age. Russia is a few centuries behind Britain in terms of development, vegetarianism is normal there, but in Russia, we’re still wandering round in animal skins and using them as a sign of prestige.

:) Perhaps you could go to Yakutia and live like the Anglo-veggies there?
Oh, and by the way, what’s going on with the English and their fox hunting?
incubus79: (also responding to previous commenter)
You need to go there yourself to see the wolves in the wild, not in cages. You can pay for the farmers’ losses, and then you can be happy about your vegetarianition.
[Note: the commenter does not use the correct noun that refers to vegetarianism in Russian]

Only if you agree to go to Britain in return and learn how to live in a civilised society. Let’s call it a cultural exchange. You can learn the basics of writing properly there too. ))

What civilisation? An anachronistic monarchy. Their prince is an orphan and a murderer. Although the late Princess Diana would perhaps have agreed with you.
sydlincha2:
Good.
In Yakutsk, in -50 degree weather, they should all eat grass while the wolves build their lairs.
albert_muzeev:
I agree with them, nature herself should choose how many wolves and hares should live.
rv111:
Send him to Yakutia so he can see a wolf attack for himself. Then let’s see how much he wants to protect them.
[Note: this commenter seems to have misread the original article and believes this is one man’s doing.]
limor:
Poor wolves – I’m only guilty of wanting to eat.
anbi71:
But they were shooting Indians in the colonies.
[Note: this would appear to be an adaptation of the “and you are lynching Negroes” response to target the British]
