Response from deputy Mirjam Sterk
“The ruling is not about the content of the permit, but mainly about the speed at which we wanted to do it. Actually, we have to stop it now, while we really wanted to act quickly against the wolf, because it does show problem behavior. We want to prevent new and serious incidents,” says Sterk. According to the deputy, reports are still coming in almost daily at the wolf reporting center, although mostly not serious. “We still have every reason to ensure that the wolf unlearns this unnatural behavior.”
