ABSTRACT

Swedish hunters sometimes appeal to an inviolate ‘right to exist’ for wolves, apparently rejecting NIMBY. Nevertheless, the conditions existence hunters impose on wolves in practice fundamentally contradict their use of right to exist language. Hunters appeal to this language hoping to gain uptake in a conservation and management discourse demanding appropriately objective ecological language. However, their contradictory use of ‘right to exist' opens them up to the charge that they are being deceptive – indeed, right to exist is a 'disguised NIMBY!' We address this situation by distinguishing hunters’ criticisms of wolves from the procedures for reaching objective policy decisions.

摘要

瑞典猎人有时会呼吁侵犯狼的“生存权”，这显然是拒绝了NIMBY。然而，在现实中，生存猎人在狼群上施加的条件从根本上与他们使用生存权相矛盾。猎人呼吁使用这种语言，希望能在需要适当客观的生态语言的保护和管理语言中获得应用。但是，他们对“生存权”的矛盾使用使他们容易受欺骗性的指控–实际上，生存权是“变相的傻瓜”！我们通过将猎人对狼的批评与达成客观政策决定的程序区分开来解决这种情况。
