"As Wolves Return to French Alps, a Way of Life Is Threatened"

From the article : 

“We’re not in a big country,” said Serge Préveraud, the president of the National Ovine Federation. France’s six million sheep, Mr. Préveraud said, cannot reasonably be expected to “cohabitate” with wolves.

The European Union considers the wolf’s return to Northern and Western Europe to be a “success story of the last 40 or 50 years,” said Joe Hennon, the spokesman for the European Commissioner for the Environment.

Um... Wow.
