Wolves attack sheep

Sheep farmers in Gelderland have moved 106 pregnant ewes from their herd in Renkum across the border to Friesland after 23 animals were killed in a suspected wolf attack. Ellen van der Zweep, whose sheep were bitten to death last week, said: ‘We received all kinds of well-intentioned advice to protect our sheep against the wolf. There were even people who offered to sleep with the herd.’ But she and her husband decided to move the animals to Friesland, where they can give birth to their lambs in safety.
