Sweden is planning to declare the mouflon to be an invasive species. It would then be politically acceptable to eradicate the species.
“The mouflon (Ovis orientalis orientalis group) is a subspecies group of the wild sheep (Ovis orientalis). Populations of O. orientalis can be partitioned into the mouflons (orientalis group) and the urials (vignei group). The mouflon is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern domestic sheep breeds.” – Wikipedia
I find much of “conservation” sanctimonious, hypocritical and illogical.
