Reminder that the Andalusian government has consistently allowed the progressive degradation of natural areas in favor of further agricultural exploitation, allowing the intensive production of crops that require high amounts of water in a region under growing risk of desertification.

In germany the wolves have reappeared since a few years and have spread quite far but it is a highly controversial topic and the shooting of the wolves is debated..

Any species that is dangerous to humans will not survive in the wild, long term

What? The ecosystem needs predatory animals to regulate the plant eating ones. Otherwise they will run rampant on the vegetation.

They can be a threat if they are starving. But the main issue is probably not attack on humans, but on livestock

There's already too much livestock. People eat too much meat in general

True, but the people that own that livestock don't care
