Don't cry wolf...

...but... a few days ago, thirteen sheep were killed by a 10-pack of wolves a few kilometres from us, here in Raasepori.  We are really worried but what can we do?  The fence around our field will only stop the sheep escaping - it won't stop the wolves getting in.  The unfortunate outcome is that the wolves might drive the sheep into the lake and they would drown. What a dreadful thought.  We are in a (relatively) built-up area - we have neighbours - but the wolves are not afraid of humans.  A few months ago they caught two roe deer near here and people gathered to watch them devouring their prey, the wolves were not perturbed by all the attention.  It is illegal to hunt them - they are a protected species and the locals wouldn't risk losing their rifles and their hunting licences (and a heavy fine) to save a few sheep. 

The only hope it that they don't come this far south and they stick to venison rather than fresh lamb.
