CU-SGP councillor Mark van der Kooi in Leusden believes that first a proper investigation should be carried out into what exactly happened. “If necessary, we must take measures. Now is the time.” The party leader of the Party for the Animals in Amersfoort, Natanja Vreugdenhil, says that it is important that “all the facts are first put in order before conclusions are drawn.” Quirine van Mourik, D66 councillor in Leusden, does not want to respond at all because, according to her, too many things are still unclear. “But we are following the situation closely.”
