213 Wolf Defence The return of wolves The spread of the wolf in the cultivated landscape holds a potential for conflict. As food opportunists, they prey on animals that they can capture most easily - but if the hunger is great enough or the deterrent not strong enough, they are quite willing to expend considerable effort to reach their hunting target. These are, above all, domestic animals such as sheep and goats. This makes protecting the herd an important issue. Whereas the focus used to be on guarding livestock, it is now imperative that the entry of wolves from the outside is also taken into account when building fences. Wolves are very quick to learn and are always developing new strategies to overcome enclosures. Pasture fences should therefore be adequately protected against them jumping or climbing over, slipping through or digging under them. Wolf defence experts agree that electric fences are the best means of choice for keeping wolves at bay. Generally speaking, herd protection measures are required for livestock species that are particularly at risk from wolves, such as sheep and goats. To create a wolf-deterring minimum level of protection, the setup of electrically charged utility mesh or wire fences with a minimum height of 90 cm is required. Please also be aware that different specifications may apply, including in relation to requirements, depending on the federal state or region. Other requirements and information can also be found in DIN VDE Standard 0131, as well as the Electric Fence Guidelines VDE SPEC 90006 in their respective most recent version.
