Show moreDepending on the source, the last Belgian wolves died in 1844 in the Ardennes by two bullets from the rifle of King Leopold I, the latter was laid down in 1868 near Merksplas, it was a hunting party in 1898 near Virton that finally put our largest land predator on the tie, or the very last wolf in Belgium was only popped off in 1923 near Evelette east of Namur. The fact is that the Belgian wolf population was almost completely wiped off the map in the first decades of the 19th century, and that observations became extremely rare from 1840 onwards.
The fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Bad Wolf” has done a lot of harm in the minds of our children. Apparently, adults still believe in fairy tales.
The wolf must stay. That is certain for me as a nature lover. As far as those dogs are concerned, you cut a pile point.

That is certain for me as a nature lover. As far as those dogs are concerned, you cut a pile point. There are people with - especially - big floats and fighting dogs who are ticking to keep their dog on a leash as they walk into nature.

There are new signs that warn walkers of aggressive dogs accompanying shepherds. Those dogs are trained to attack when someone gets too close to the herd, like a wolf. Unfortunately, they can't distinguish between who is really threatening and who isn't. The signs have been there since wolves are running in the wild again.
each species is necessary in its natural habitat because if it is missing it ceases to eat another population that will increase more, and the balance is lost
