According to a report from Gazet van Antwerpen, since the reintroduction of wolves to Flanders in 2018, the region's Nature and Forest Agency (ANB) has documented almost 250 wolf attacks

on livestock. As of now, there have been no reported wolf attacks on humans in Flanders. The ANB has received 312 claims related to alleged wolf attacks on livestock since 2018, and experts have confirmed that wolves were responsible for 243 of these cases. Some incidents involved attacks by dogs or foxes, while others were attributed to natural causes followed by scavenger activity.

In the majority of these attacks, the affected farmers did not have adequate fencing to keep wolves out, or the electric power to the fences was switched off. In response, the ANB has received subsidy applications from 493 private livestock farmers for the installation of wolf-proof fences, with a total value exceeding one million euros. Eligible farmers will be reimbursed for 90% of the materials used.

Flanders has developed a playbook for dealing with dangerous situations involving wolves, including a protocol for euthanizing the animals if necessary. In the Netherlands, some animal welfare organizations have filed a complaint regarding the shooting of a wolf that had bitten a sheep farmer.
