"Farmers say more than 340 sheep were killed in 2021 by a Swedish wolf population estimated at about 460. The predators, which in the 1960s were thought to be extinct in Sweden, are also resented by hunters, who say the dogs they use to track and drive deer and elk are regularly attacked." "However, the scale of this year’s planned cull – only 203 wolves have been shot in total in Sweden in the 12 years since authorised hunting resumed – has alarmed conservationists."
[]
> 340 sheep for 460 wolves sounds either like a load of bullshit (and they've got a feral dog problem) or like they are crowding wolves with completely unguarded livestock. Like, yeah, they are going to take sheep after sheep if you can't even put up an electric fence and use dogs.

I feel like there could be spoilers in some credits. Also I’d rather not sit and watch the names of every single person that has had any sort of influence on the movie, which is why I (and a lot of other people) leave when the credits start.
