I love how the reporter portrays the wild boar killing as if it was a tragic thing when in reality, boars, red and roe deer are main the natural prey of wolves in europe. Boar themselves can have a strong negative impact on the ecosystem when their natural predators (wolves) aren't present to limit their numbers and scare them. Of course, boars, like every native species, also play an important role in the wild ecosystems of europe, spreading seeds, turning the soil and creating holes in the ground that other smaller species need to feed or grow but if they themselves are not food for their predators, they can become extremely damaging for native rare plants, birds that nest on the ground, some insects, etc. The irony is that boars are often accused of being destructive towards human crops and lawns so hunters say they need to kill them to keep them in check but as soon as a wolf does their job, it's painted as savage and cruel and need to be exterminated.
If we want to be able to coexist with native species and have healthier wildlife around us of future generations, we need to tolerate big animals and predators such as wolves and help the people that deal with these species with strong financial and logistical support so that they can live alongside them. It's extremely easy to do, especially in rich european countries. The sad reality is that money isn't distributed where it should and the wrong people (and animals) get the blame.
I'm glad they're back. They're an important part of the ecosystem, ensuring only the strongest of small wild mammals survive. Yes they're going to affect livestock but we have the ability to mitigate that, it's a lot harder balance the ecosystem if a predator goes extinct
The farmers just need to go back to the old methods of flock protection. Donkeys are very good as guard dogs for sheep, as are llama/alpaca. Then there is a the good old fashioned method of keeping a shepherd with the flock.
Good to see European countries are doing this. Can’t keep lecturing other countries about not hunting tigers, pandas and gorillas yet wiping out their own native species.
Get donkeys. Cheaper than dogs, need less maintenance, will muck up a lone wolf not so good with a pack. End of stories. Before the hogs become a situation like texas.
Have a team of shepherd dog and they will take care of that wolf threat.
This Earth doesnt belong to us, we have to learn to share it with other creatures or suffer the repercussions from it.

Guardian dogs are needed back with the flocks old tricks are the best tricks

Excellent, now we need to get gas engines out of the city centers. Sick of the pollution. Nature first!
Sorry but I just loved how the old farmer’s accent swung between French and Dutch
They’ve been around for a while now
Good for Belgium
Wolves were here way before human!

Very cool!
When we think of an extinct we realize that they are no longer exist but they actually do is that they migrate from one place to another…
Stupid farmers, all they’re trying to do is find a home and food, we weren’t here first yano😂
