New rules allow faster wolf removal.

The Dutch government is changing its approach to dealing with wolves. They want to allow shooting and using other weapons. This is to stop wolves from hurting people and animals.

State Secretary Silvio Erkens is leading this change. The government is responding to a decrease in public support for wolf control. A recent attack in Westbroek, where a wolf killed and injured sheep, prompted this action. If a wolf attacks livestock twice in two weeks, the government will quickly remove it. They will use methods like rubber bullets and paintball guns to manage the wolves.
