Snowmobile hunters run over wolverine five times

Two men who deliberately killed a wolverine by repeatedly running it over with their snowmobile faced a court on Wednesday over allegations of aggravated hunting crimes and animal cruelty.

(...)

The men, both aged 30, were snowmobiling in April 2010 at Arjeplogsfjällen, northern Sweden, when they decided to attack the wolverine.

It is alleged that they ran over the animal five times, crushing its skull and killing it, before dumping the body in a pond 12 kilometres away.

Preliminary investigations led experts to believe the hunt may have even lasted several days.
