"The boy who cried wolf" is now playing in Bundestag
Sheep breeders from Germany are requesting compensations for the frequent wolves' attacks in the country even when no animal or human gets injured or killed by the predators.
The request was presented to the environment committee of Bundestag (the German parliament) by a representative of an association of animal farmers, Andreas Schenk, reports Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
According to Schenk, compensation is necessary no matter if the sheep are attacked or not to make up for the trauma caused to the animals and humans alike.
"Any attack is traumatic for humans and animals alike. Even the fear of an attack is unbearable", said Schenk. Sheep breeders in Germany demand a feed subsidy that can go up to €40 million per year but the farmers asked for more support to keep their businesses alive. "Wolves are not to blame for the decline in the sector. Politicians and the society are responsible for that", he added.
