Sheep and cattle farmer Marieke van Schuppen describes a conversation with an animal welfare lobbyist who claimed wolf-proof fencing is 100% effective. Van Schuppen challenges this view, citing incidents in Drenthe where wolves killed livestock despite protective measures.

The article highlights the disconnect between political rhetoric on coexistence and the harsh reality faced by local farmers, urging continued dialogue to address the issue.
