Danish - det er grebet helt forkert an

[Rejzko]

In the movie Adams Æbler.

Gunnar: Jeg hjælper Sarah med at omskrive en artikel
Ivan: Nå, om hvad?
Gunnar: Om tigrene i Østen, det er grebet helt forkert an. Prøv at se Ivan. Prøv at se hvordan de skriver, at der kun er 400 tilbage.
Ivan: Ja skønt.
Gunnar: Ja det er jo fuldstændig vanvittigt. De er jo med til at udrydde dem på den måde.

Is the article "grebet helt forkert"? (meant as a joke, as pastor Ivan does not want to see evil, so Gunnar maybe thinks that if the article tells the truth, it can extinguish the tigers.)

Or is the treatment of tigers "grebet forkert"?

It means that the subject of tigers has been dealt with in a bad way. It seems to me that Gunnar thinks the article makes people want to hunt tigers, rather than want to protect them from extinction.

Hi,
The verb is gribe an (which is different from gribe ...and should be distinguished from angribe, as well)

gribe an ~ to approach, i.e. the topic has been approached or dealt with completely wrong/incorrectly.

Bic.
