Dozens of sheep killed in a suspected wolf attack in Ede

Dutch News  

A total of 41 sheep were killed in Ede in Gelderland in a suspected attack by one or more wolves in the early hours of Thursday, Ede local council has said. Wolves have made their home in Gelderland and it is not the first time sheep have been killed in attacks in the area, provincial wildlife agency BIJ12 said. The Utrecht branch of farmers party BBB said shooting “problem wolves” is the only solution and has called for the wolf’s current protected status to be lowered. It was the latest step in a long-running stand-off between provincial authorities and conservationists, who argue that the real problem is with tourists using food to lure the wolves close enough to be photographed Wolf behaviour expert Diederik van Liere said the incidents should lead to a “sort of volunteer fire service” which could be trained to chase off wolves in cases of sightings.
