  1. Fuk off… 2 things. First of all Stop cutting down the forests. So they would have their own territories. Second of all, protect your livestock better. Builds 1meter height fence and leaves the farm animals over night outside. Then gets suprised that wolf jumped the fence and went for easy kill. Furthermore, cries to the goverment, that bad wolf killed his animal and demands compensation. 😂

  2. Concentration of livestock in Europe a real danger to wolves…

  3. Sounds like farmers should take better care of the livestock and let the wild nature do its thing… But I am sure it has nothing to do that Van der Leyen’s pony was killed

  4. We are so lucky to have her as a head of EU, imagine if we would get mentally unstable, corrupted bitch instead /s

  5. So we need to kill off wild animals that would have an actual life ahead of them, because they kill animals that would be killed by us anyway.

  6. No, they are not. Not in the slightest. Does it mean that wolves can’t kill livestock? No, of course not, but we are not running out of cows and pigs unless we want to.

    Maybe I haven’t followed her closely enough but von der Leyen seem so…..not personable.

  7. Are people who have livestock north and west of Balkans stupid and don’t know to use dogs purely breed for protection of livestock, like [Tornjak.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornjak). Also did you hear about fences higher than 1,5 meter?

  8. Just this year on Spain there was a huge overblown “crisis” because the government approved new protections for animal welfare so wolves couldn’t be killed “just because”, and farmers were on war against it because, they said, wolves were overpopulating some zones and killing the livestock, without that much they could do if they couldn’t control/attack the wolves.

    IDK, it seems this should be a topic for the experts on ecosystems and not politics/greens/farmers/redditors. At the end, Im not for killing animals just because, but also, I understand not every explotation (like sheeps) can be protected “putting walls”, when a lot of people work on nomadic/wandering mode, traveling with their herd constantly.

  9. The only thing that poses a danger is idiotic politicians like her and Michel.

  10. Is this actually true or is she trading favours with some lobbyist group..?

  11. Are we really going to kill wolves only because her fucking ponny was killed by one?

  12. Hopefully her crusade against wolves damages her approval rating.

  13. What about the bear concentration in Romania? is she not seeing this? or is selective blind?

  14. We have with a lot of effort bring this animal back to Europe.
    We will not extinct them again.

  15. Only once they attacked her pony, didn’t give a f__ before.

  16. Concentration of ponies is more dangerous.

    If you know you know.

  17. Sooo in Poland we have an army of hunters that “have to” shoot boars and deer because there’s too many of them… because they lack natural predators… but wolves that are natural predators are a problem? Seems like letting wolves back into their natural environments would solve the problem with both attacking livestock and hunters having to curb the wildlife populations.

  18. She is a corrupt, and an anti environmentalist. Who voted for her, again?

  19. > Concentration of politician like von der Layen in Europe a “real danger” for Europeans

    Common sense

  20. It’s the price you pay for having wildlife. You’d rather have just cows?

  21. A refreshing reminder that she’s an idiot and making the EU look stupid on the world stage

  22. Concentration of idiots in eu commission is a real danger for the EU.

  23. Fucking crazy that she is backing this all for personal reasons. Fuck her and all her wealthy pals

  24. Yes, if not for those wolves, all that livestock would be able to grow old and live happily ever after!

    I’m a EU fan, but von der leyen is a cunt. She’s making statements solely because, even as rich as she is, she couldn’t be bothered to set up a decent fence around her “favourite” pony…

  25. The fuck? There are less than 500 wolves in all of Sweden, and Sweden is enormous. Most people will never see one in their lives

  26. Oh please, at least have the stones to say that its because a wolf attacked your pony. Theres so few wolves in Europe as it is

  27. As a famous biologist said in The Netherlands: a sheep is much more likely to be eaten by a human than by a wolve

  28. The real dangers are politicians like her , let them fight the wolves in a coliseum if they want them dead .

  29. No, they are not, wolves and bears and whatever else are NOT a danger to overall livestock numbers in any advanced country. Nothing that can’t be solved with some good old sheperd dogs, at least. This is so fucking cringe. Yeah ok, a pack of wolves will kill a cow or calf every other week, wow! Just compensate the farmers for the lost value post lavoration, it will cost some 10 millions a year at best. They just refuse to deal with it in any efficient way because farmers have a hard on for killing any predator.
