This week a woman was attacked by a wolf at Ikea in Hamburg. I read another story of a lady riding her horse being stalked for 20 minutes by a wolf. I'm used to coyotes and bears, but I've never encountered a wolf.
I remember the time I rode by a wolf farm, captive wolves, in Maple Valley, and I was on foot with Baasha. They started howling and Baasha slowly crept behind me, using me as a human shield. LOL
Last week Mag went nuts over something, I don't know what. He couldn't stand down his guard, he couldn't eat, wouldn't allow Bellis to eat. He just paced the north and south perimiters. The horses across the street were upset as well, but the horses next door were placid.
My donkey was also concerned, so it wasn't in his head.
I texted the hunter/ranger. What is going on? He said it's probably wild boars.
We've had wild boars around many times so I doubt it because I've never seen such a reaction.
I have no experience with wolves. I can only trust that my donkey is going to apply her protection skills, as she does with dogs.
German farmers are hoping for permission to protect their livestock against the protected wolves.
We'll see what happens.

Why on earth would they want to increase wolf population in a small country that is mostly without wilderness? Makes no sense, and of course wolves will infiltrate farms and human habitation for food.
Don't you remember the wolves at Fire Mountain? That wacko down the road raised wolves and wolf-hybrids and let them run loose sometimes (because wacko).
Your city horse(s) (Mac? Princess B?) thought they were seeing doggies, but the two horses from Canada knew EXACTLY what was out there and sounded the alarm. Story was train-whistle blowing, so I came out and saw them and yelled them away. Terre O'Brennan said that Kozaar just about pulled the trailer over on top of him.
Shirley, I hiked before dawn recently and couldn't shake the fear.
Aarene, I remember Story keeping me up that night!
