On the hunt for wolves in Sweden

Sweden has been threatened with legal action by the European Union after it allowed wolf hunting to resume for a limited period.

Hunters have been given two weeks to kill 16 wolves, which the government says will reduce inbreeding, helping to create a sustainable native population.

Environmentalists argue that will not be achieved by killing the animals and inter-breeding with wolves from other countries is needed.

Hunter Hakan Svartvik took the BBC's Matthew Price with him as he went looking for wolves.
