Wolves have adapted swiftly and surely to human-dominated landscapes. But people are struggling to adjust to the wolves. The concentration of packs, von der Leyen declared when announcing the commission’s review of wolf protection laws, “has become a real danger for livestock and potentially also for humans”.
In December, the commission proposed to reduce the wolf’s status under the Bern Convention from “strictly protected” to “protected” in order to introduce “further flexibility” – potentially enabling wolves to be hunted and populations reduced across the EU.
Many populist politicians across Europe hope that talking up the threat of the wolf – alongside tough measures to tackle it – will win support ahead of next summer’s elections to the European parliament.

Nature kills animals: Nuke it from orbit!
Oh yeah lets fuck up the wolf population again, now that they are finally returning to Germany after over a CENTURY.
Fuck vdL and fuck this sort of human-centric view of controlling local fauna.
Everytime it has been done so far - either by hunting or introducing a new species, it had unforseen consequences.
and potentially also for humans
Conservative politicians talking about stuff they don’t understand. Again. A story as old as politics.
Let’s continue to vote people into positions with power who lack the necessary brain cells to make informed and scientifically founded decisions. It has been working great so far as well. Didn’t it?

That’s what she meant by “think of the children”. Can’t say she was insincere about that, then.
