INTERVIEW. Wolf experts Dirk Draulans and Jan Loos after wolf shot: “No illusions, the rush on sheep will also start here from mid-August”

A Dutch farmer was bitten on the arm when he tried to chase a wolf away with a pitchfork and shovel. Two hours later, the animal was shot by order of the mayor. And that causes commotion. Animal organizations are taking mayor and farmer to court. Should the wolf be shot? And what should we do with those animals? “The mayor has gone beyond the limits of European law,” say experts Dirk Draulans and Jan Loos.
