Henk Jumelet (CDA), as deputy responsible for wolf policy in Drenthe, also fiercely shrugged off the debate. He says he was presented with the idea for a long time that the nuisance caused by the wolf would decrease, but these experts put him on the wrong track. “Drenthe is too small. We thought it would go well, but that is not the case. There is a lot of damage, day in and day out.” The Christian Democrat fears that the number of wolf packs will continue to grow explosively, which he believes will make the situation even more unsustainable.
In addition, the current provincial governor grumbles at political The Hague, who, according to him, would not take the wolf problem in Drenthe seriously at first. “When we came to The Hague with this problem, they shrugged their shoulders. But if the wolf were to walk around there, what would the reaction be?”, he wonders cynically.
