Well I guess we differ there then, I do like not having to carry a rifle or sprays when i walk outside (we are not allowed). I also like livestock and kids not having to fear a predator that we drove to the outskirts.

I do wonder where you live in the Netherlands and if you just find it convenient to talk about the rural parts without having to face the consequences.

Wolves generally don't attack people, though, do they?

There are no recent (last half century) documented cases of wolves killing people in Europe as far as I know. The few times people have been bitten by wolves they've been feeding them or doing other stupid stuff.

		Nope. The basic rule is that you don't do things with wolves you shouldn't do (like feeding them and thus gradually letting them get comfortable around humans), and that you don't do boneheaded shit like leaving a small child alone in nature (which is common sense in most of the world). For a wolf a three year old child is just about the same as a boar or small deer. Anyone over the age of 12 though? Wolves won't bother you unless you've managed to fuck up nature to such an extent that they can't find their usual diet (deer, boar, etc.), and even then attacking an adult is really desperate. There was an interesting interview with an Italian expert about wolves and people in the news this week: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/10/15/we-zullen-moeten-wennen...

		Well it's easy to have zero wolf attacks when there are zero wolves. We also have zero hyena attacks.

This is everything wrong with the netherlands. The over the top complaining of the “farmers” (factory operator would be more accurate).

Wolves stay away from humans, there have been zero human deaths by wolves. The whole anti wolf movement is just propaganda by the “farmers”.

		Very demeaning way of people making their livelihood. > Wolves stay away from humans, there have been zero human deaths by wolves. No they don't always stay away, plenty of confirmed stories. Just because there's no deaths yet, does it mean you can continue until it does happen? People have already been attacked.
