Wolf that attacked dog is not a problem wolf, province sees it as “natural behavior”
From NL Times:
The wolf that attacked a leashed dog on an estate in Leusden last Saturday has shown natural behavior, according to experts. The province of Utrecht says that there is no question of a so-called problem wolf. The province assumes that the dog was attacked by one of the parents of wolf cubs.
“There was natural predatory behavior in which wolves see dogs as a threat and humans in principle not,” according to the answers of the provincial executive board to written questions from the VVD and BBB. “However, it is incredibly sad for the owner and anyone concerned about the wolf’s presence. According to experts, the wolf in the incident on July 6 displayed natural behavior.”
