Why does most of western Europe have next to no wildlife?

urbanization

>>78893650
The same reason why we have overpopulation

>>78893650
It's called population.

>>78893650
Because we won. our mighty brilliant ancestors cared about their children and belongings and thus totally pacified the country from natural threats, now we became cucks and decides to reintroduce predators.

I pity the mooselets

I saw a moose yesterday right next to my house

We shouldn't even have wolfs to be honest, they attack chickens from rural people, they are bastards

They do, mostly of the North African variety

>>78893964
We have <200 wolves in the whole country, but reindeer niggers are still shilling for more hunting permits.

>>78893918
>boasting about a violent several hundred pound killing machine being near you

Holy shit, we have wolves?

I live smack in the middle of a national park.
Bears, moose, deer, wolfs etc. Everything lives here.

>>78893650
Because fuck nature.

>>78894173
>a moose is a killing machine

>>78894215
yes, but only in the northern interior, Viseu, Guarda, Bragança and Vila Real

>>78894173
Moose, bear and wolves are forest citizens. You let them pass and nothing bad ever happens.

>>78894297
reindeer are better because they are smarter and more docile so they can be herded

>>78894257
Well it is the law. If we don't shoot every moose you lay eyes on you get packed up and sent to jail for three months.

>>78894338
Agreed. I live in Lappland so plenty of reindeer here.

We killed all of ours off years ago. I guess we were too efficient at hunting.

>>78894398
Hunting efficiency includes maintaining a stable population to hunt you fucking weapon

>>78894137
Or people who hold their dogs chained on a yard year round and get miffed after their mutt get torn by some wolf pack after a freezing night.

Literal children.

Brits don't even eat horse, the weak faggots

>>78894466
Dogs start barking when the wolves come

Just go outside and wave a flashlight and they will go away.

>>78893650
High population density.
Intensive agriculture on every area possible.
Farmers kill them because they kill crops and/or cattle.

Yep, I work in tourism and a lot of foreigners freak out when they see reindeer meat.
I always have a lot at home, smoked jerky, smoked heart, big steaks etc etc. Reindeer is the supreme meat. And cheap here as well. It's like 1/3rd of moose.
>honey smoked reindeer heart, 10/10

>>78894508
Did they not understand hunting to be a source of food in 1700? Or how an ecosystem works?

>>78894640
Not really.

You don't understand it even today.

>>78894743
Horses are big heavy supplies of great tasting meat..
We have it all the time here in the north.
You know how often horses get hurt and put down? A lot.
I can literally buy 40lbs of meat for small change here. Reason? It's horse.

>>78893918

>>78894942
Horse is ok

>>78894942
>uneatable
Where have you heard that from kek?
I cook horse meat at least 50 times a year.
Horse burgers is very popular here in northern Sweden.
The meat is lean, dark and if you hang it for a while extremely tender.

>>78894984
I wasn't even able to bight it.
I couldn't cut it.
How can you eat something like this.

>lean
Yes extremly lean.

>>78895023
Well then you just don't know how to properly tenderize, store and cook it..
Don't blame the meat for your own incompetence...

>>78893650
Am I the only one who's really fascinated by moose?

>>78894640
It wasn't for food though. It was killing the predators who were fucking the farmers livestock.

>>78895023
>I couldn't cut it.
Then you did it wrong....
Let it hang for 12-18 days in 10-12 degrees.
Rubbed in salt.
After that you can cut it with a spoon.

>>78894611
That looks delicious

>>78894983
>city center
There's no real city in Vermont. Burlington has <45k residents.
Did you read the article?
>>78895079
Hopefully, one day, I'll have a bull moose's head on my wall and its meat in my freezer.

We had a horse meat scandal a while back, someone was selling horse as beef. Turned out the best tasting steak was actually horse.

>>78895293
>We had a horse meat scandal a while back
We had this too.

Selling cheap horse meat as expensive beef.

Why don't third worlders eat horse?

We have horse salami everywhere
I don't know if salami is the english word for Salami but I hope that everyone understands me

Who would have thought

In case you're wondering why Germans love moose:
Moose is slang for pancakes in German.
>>78895399
Having a sign like that basically means that pancakes are on their way

>>78895385

It's probably good meat. Dunno why the west goes full spergo autismalis over horse meat.

don't even know the difference between a moose, an elk and a reindeer

they're all jewish creations as far as I'm concerned, the only animals I care about are qt fish

Because we are a civilized continet unlike you. That maps confirms tha scandinavia is more russian than european

>>78894971
First of all, they're called elk, not moose. Secondly, Sweden alone has several times as many elk as the contiguous United States. We shoot more elk each year than you have.

Better question: why do such a huge majority of Swedes live so far south they don't get to enjoy any of that?

>>78898566
It's where we've historically been able to grow enough food to sustain the population.

There's a famous stereotype here in Sweden that germans are obsessed with our moose. It's happened multiple times that german tourists steal moose signs like pic related

>>78898321
That's pretty sad.

>>78898566
I live in Götaland and regularly see moose. There lives lynx close to where i live and i've also seen boars and more.

Just because the north is richer in wildlife doesn't mean that the south isn't rich as well.

Fun fact: the caribou/reindeer is the only Cervidae in North America where both males and females routinely have antlers.

>>78899253

That has everything to do with natural range, and nothing to do with hunting.
>>78898555
They're called moose here, and I was just using the terminology of the post I was replying to.
Alaska alone has 175,000.
>>78901714
Pictures are clearly the more intelligent approach.

>>78904786
Alaska is not part of the contiguous United States. The contiguous United States has around 100 000. Sweden has 3-400 000, with 100 000 shot each hunting season.

Read the posts you're responding to. I was speaking of the contiguous United States all along. Nevertheless, even if you include Alaska and Hawaii, you have fewer elk than we do.
