Norway - Apr 21
Five men were sentenced to prison this week in a landmark case in Norway for their involvement in organizing an illegal wolf hunt. This marks Norway's first ever prosecution of such a case, where the country's hunting legislation has been criticized in recent years for inadequately preserving Europe's dwindling wolf populations. The group's leader was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison, while the four accomplices will serve between six months and a year, despite all denying the charges. Source: BBC News
