never thought i would find an article about that here. we had a discussion about it with a person who have been farmer all his life, and that's a generation thing around here. and we both agreed that the wolves aren't an enemy at all.
for centuries and centuries there have always been wolves in france. it's an historic fact. they were extinct, many races have disappeared leaving an important gap in this country's ecosystem.
so yeah the farmers gonna hate, but they have to deal with that. wolves must be reintroduced and the rednecks need to secure their farms. it's a good thing that it will force them to care more about their lambs and packs. there are solutions. get some dogs like they always did - they will defend their sector.
take a german shepherd or a malinois, the wolf will run away, really.
200 wolves is nothing. by the official stats and ratings of the ONF and the minister of ecology, it's still not enough individuals to officially classify the species even as "successfully reintroduced". the minimal amount/threshold to get the wolves into the stats is about 2000-3000.
