Lack of wolf-proof fencing proved fatal for sheep: Nu.nl

Sheep that have been attacked and killed by wolves were not protected by proper wolf-proof fencing, an analysis by news website Nu.nl has shown. Wolf-proof fencing was only present in six out of 600 attacks on sheep, Nu.nl found, and in 20 cases the fencing was inadequate, allowing wolves to gain access. According to figures quoted by wolf monitoring board BIJ12, the total number of animals killed by wolves between November 2019 and November last year stands at around 2,000. The Gelderland provincial authorities are in favour of preventive measures but are also campaigning to cull the number of wolves in the province which currently stands at seven confirmed wolf pairs and an unknown number of cubs.
