‘The wolf does not belong here’: German summit convened after animal attacks

Farmers express concern for their livelihoods after series of deadly attacks on farm animals

German farmers, conservationists and politicians have met at a wolf summit to discuss the animal's future amid concerns that its population is out of control.

The farmers' union is calling for a relaxation of rules over when wolves, strictly protected under EU law, can be shot, after a series of highly publicised deadly attacks on farm animals.
