A very interesting article in the Telegraph about the wolf in France. I have just picked out the bit that appealed to me but real wolf haters will enjoy the body of the article.
And help was at hand for the wolves: just as the trackers entered the final furlong, at last approaching the stationary marksmen's line of fire, the hunt was abruptly cut short by furious ramblers demanding to know why their Sunday stroll had suddenly taken them into a war zone.
As tempers flared and the guns fell silent, the farmers railed against "tourists" whose right to roam had foiled their hunt. "All these people mobilised against the wolf, yet we get stopped by a bunch of walkers. It beggars belief," said Mr Courron.
In truth, however, this is the third such hunt in the area in which the wolf has evaded his ancient foe. Last time, a marksman even missed one that dashed for cover right past his sights.
Allez le loup
