Скачать или смотреть Mobile electric fence: how to protect grazing animals from the wolf? [Tutorial]

The most significant conflict created by the return of the wolf to our cultivated landscapes involves grazing livestock. Wolves will hunt sheep and goats if they are not adequately protected. Area-wide herd protection is a necessity for human-wolf coexistence and can significantly prevent wolf-related damage to grazing animals.

We accompanied sheep owner and fence builder Swen Keller. He is erecting a mobile wolf-repellent electric fence to protect his sheep flock.
