Reply to comment by Captain__Spiff in TIL: raccoons are native to North America, having been introduced elsewhere only in the 20th century. by acequark
You know why you have raccoons running around in the wild in your neck of the woods?
Nazis. They thought it would “enrich the local fauna.”

Do you guys hunt at all?

In the Netherlands hunting wolves is illegal, and I think that ban comes from the EU, so Germany probably can't hunt them. We recently got wolves in our country as wel (they came from Germany). It's the return of a natural predator that should've been in our ecosystem all along. Plenty of people are still mad about it though.

Yeah wolves are protected in certain parts of the US too. I just wondered how much of your population hunted in general.

Very little I'd think. Getting a weapons permit and a weapon can be a bit of a bitch. And hunting itself is rather limited in when and what and how much you can hunt.

Where is there enough wild space in the Netherlands to support wolf packs?

Mostly de Veluwe. Though exact locations are kept secret to protect the wolves.

Wolves are (sadly) hunted in Sweden, so it's probably not prohibited by the EU.
