Wolves of France

Since the days of the Holy Roman Empire, and possibly before, wolves in France have a strong violent streak. They willingly hunt sheep in packs, though loners are more likely to do so. They also hunt children. There is no doubt that the fear of wolves that pervade modern media and haunt Westerner's hunters and farmers fears come from the stories based upon French Wolves. While wolves of other areas, especially in Europe and northern Asia, are still likely to hunt sheep every now and again, the sheer preference towards them and children is a feature of French Wolves. In France alone about 9,500 livestock are killed a year by reintroduced wolves. That isn't as bad as coyotes, as they can kill 135,600 sheep a year and 116,000 cattle a year. North American wolves attack sheep and cattle at much less rates, maybe at 135 to 500 cows a year and about 115 in a tri-state area. having been merged with ravens However, this is also in a much wider area, that being the United States, and perhaps French wolves are merely as aggressive as coyotes are at killing livestock. Due to their revenousness culling has continued again, despite the government's previous attempts to serve the farmers in getting more sheep, providing guard animals, and electric fences.
