Since this year, the number of wolf attacks has increased sharply. In almost all cases, livestock farmers did not have wolf-resistant fences, a fence that a wolf cannot go through, under or over. The BIJ12 wolf reporting point received a total of 217 reports of suspected wolf damage from all over the Netherlands between February 16 and May 17. 190 of these could be definitively linked to the wolf after DNA research.
Subsidies for wolf-resistant fences are not popular, farmers who want them are sometimes threatened
