Today an interview with me on the symbolicity of wolves (and sheep) has been released as part of an episode of the Norwegian podcast Krimpodden, which is published by VG, Norway´s largest newspaper by number of readers. The episode is titled «Ulvejakta 1:2» (The wolf hunt 1: 2); subscription is required to access it. The interview was done by journalist and program host Tor-Erling Thømt Ruud.
The Norwegian national daily newspaper VG has run a news story, online Saturday and in print today, titled "Nå kan kyllingrasen du spiser bli forbudt" (now this chicken breed may be forbidden - concerns Ross 308). The news story builds on our recent statement to the Norwegian ministries of agriculture and fisheries respectively in relation to the government´s forthcoming parliamentary notice (stortingsmelding) on animal welfare.
Our open letter on dog breeding has today been published as a chronicle in the print edition of the Norwegian daily VG.
