Wolf spotted in Schermbeck, Germany
November 21st, 2019 - I’m so thrilled, this was filmed yesterday morning in Schermbeck, which is less than 30 kilometers from where I am currently staying! I spend a lot of time outdoors in the woods here, and always keep my eyes open, because you never know.
This is most likely she-wolf Gloria, who is believed to be a bit of a troublemaker because she probably single handedly killed and injured a dozen of farmer Kurt Opriel’s sheep in the past month, despite his special 9,000-volt electric fence.
The final analysis of this case is still pending. Opriel has made a request to Wesel County to expel Gloria. Peter Malzbender from the German nature conservation group NABU advocates for not killing Gloria, but instead scaring her away for example by the use of rubber bullets. Opriel’s biggest wish is that the wolf just leaves his sheep alone.

Also I am laughing so hard at the person in the video going “leck mich am Arsch, ich glaub, da ist der Wolf!” (”lick my ass, I think there is that wolf!”)
