[Redneck wolf-haters are everywhere, even in France.]
French farmers herded their sheep to the Eiffel Tower on Thursday to protest against the growing number of attacks on their flocks by wolves, which they argue are protected by the government.
The farmers brought around 250 sheep to central Paris to demand action from government ministers to stop the attacks on their flocks, which have increased dramatically in recent years.
One of the protesters was dressed as a wolf while carrying around a lamb. Another held a banner reading: “Today famers, tomorrow unemployed.”
The farmers and their sheep are due to meet with French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll later on Thursday.
Wolves were hunted to extinction in France, like in many other European countries, but crossed over the Alps into France from Italy in the 1990s. They now number about 300 and are a protected species.
One of the predators was caught on camera within 250 km of Paris in April, The Local reported.
