Belgian newspaper “l'avenir” reported on Friday that sheep had been bitten and killed in the woods between La-Roche-en-Ardenne and Vielsalm. The first incident already dates back to the end of August. The affected shepherd told the newspaper that his herd had already been attacked by wild dogs before, however the recent attacks didn't compare. “This animal was hungry,” he explained. “It bit the sheep in the throat and ate the rear parts.” The dead animals were brought to special laboratories in France for further examination. The area where the attacks happened was also searched for traces of wolf-like droppings or fur, however nothing was discovered so far. DNA analysis of the bite marks are made in order to clarify if the attackers were simple wolfhounds or real wolves. Both animals have strong similarities. Only days ago, the response to a parliamentary question in the Walloon regional parliament confirmed that three hunters saw a wolf in Nassogne on October 22. The observation was considered as viable, among other reasons because one of the hunters is a taxidermist and had already prepared a wolf before.
