C'mon... they have the actual facts in the article (yet another far-right culture war front, massive farmer's lobby, wolves losing EU protection because of Flinten-Uschi's insane vendatta). So why putting the fairy tale pretense in the title instead?

There are ~13 million cows and sheep alone grazing openly in Germany. With such numbers, those ~4000 animals injured or killed in a year are a joke if compared to the massive amount of just everyday accidents. 4k that also only happen because they can't even be bothered to protect their animals. That would be more expensive than paying corrupt politicians to push their agenda.

Sadly they are already one step ahead: They don't care about facts and often don't bother anymore to even fake them.

I guarantee that more cows and sheep prematurely die to cars and unhealthy environments than wolves. Fucking assholes just when the wolf population finally started recovering.

Go vegan, free much of the farm land for reforestation and let the wolves live. They are one of the best “tools” available to keep nature in balance.

Whenever they show a German livestock owner with slain animals on the news, they never have any donkeys or dogs for protection. 🤔

I still haven't forgiven Bavaria for shooting that bear back in the 2006

Bro saw the polandball meme and thought "damn those look fuckable" and now he just says he wants to "fuck" every country he sees.

Still, broken clock and all. It's not like the conservatives here in Germany are better than elsewhere. Fearmongering is their one trick

One might note they're historically pretty goddamn bad, and that your centrists love gagging on their cocks even more than usual.

Absolutely

There is a petition against this started by a prominent german nature preservation organisation (NABU):

Humans will always fail to control nature. It fights back in ways you cannot grasp.
