Two wolves killed 35 sheep in early October in the Groot Schietveld nature reserve in Belgium, near the Dutch border, according to shepherd Bert Plasmans. At least 17 other sheep were injured, some of which later died, and three remain missing, he told Flemish media.
The reserve lies a few kilometres south of Zundert, in the Netherlands, and is home to two wolves known as Ben and Emma. The attack is believed to be the deadliest since wolves returned to Flanders in 2018.
