There have been some cases where farm animals were killed/eaten by wolves. Those cases have been few and far between though. Nonetheless, local governments in Belgium are subsidizing the placement of protective fencing around farms designed to keep wolves out. I'm not sure how it is elsewhere in Europe.That's interesting, because the TV report I saw 2 nights ago was suggesting that this was a Europe-wide problem of great concern to the farming communities and I wondered if this was being orchestrated by an anti re-wilding group using this medium to "blow it out of proportion" ?
Whether or not it's a substantial enough problem will depend on who you ask. My personal opinion (for what it's worth) is that it's being blown out of proportion quite a bit and there's a lot of fearmongering going on. Social media and certain sensationalist mainstream media are playing a big role in this (no surprises there).
