France caught in war with wolves

SERON, France - Furtive, wily and the animal of fairy tales, wolves fascinate nature lovers, but they raise fears among French sheep breeders who are trying to save their flocks.

Amid debate in France on a future policy towards wolves, the government is being asked to come to the aide of sheep farming.

"In one night, we lost 10 percent of our flock," said Claire Lapie, 32, a breeder in Sederon in the picturesque southeast Drome department.
