New DNA analysis of sheep that had been bitten to

In the province of Utrecht, it is obvious that the wolf will try to see if there is life on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The point is that only the roe deer occurs there and hardly any fallow deer, red deer or wild boar. It is possible that the wolf will therefore try to attack farm animals relatively more often here, just as in Brabant and Drenthe. “That could be”, says Jansman, but that does not mean that we now have to fear terribly for “our lambs”. After all, owners also have a legal obligation to protect their animals against extreme weather and predators. With more wolves in the region, measures such as wolf-proof fences will also have to increase.
