Wolf tears eleven sheep in Schönau - who protects our pastures?

Wolf tears eleven sheep in Schönau - who protects our pastures?

In Schönau in the Mühlkreis, Upper Austria, eleven sheep of a care facility will be killed on August 13, 2025, another sheep will be delayed. The incident has triggered concern among local farmers because wolf attacks in the region increase. Wolfs representative Philipp Engeder assumes 99.9 percent security that a wolf is responsible for the attack. This could be confirmed by an upcoming DNA analysis that should clarify whether one of the three known wolf packs in the region is behind the incident. Each of the pack has a territory of around 150 square kilometers, which indicates a density of predators in this area.

The sheep were in a pasture at the time of the attack, which, however, did not meet the standards for professional herd protection. Therefore, there is no shooting permit so far. The current rearing of young animals in the packs also increases the hunting pressure on the pasture animals, which further exacerbates the situation for farmers.

background to Luis Gil

parallel to the developments in Austria there are news from the field of sport. Baseball player Luis Gil was last activated on August 3, 2025 by the New York Yankees. He had previously spent a long time due to an injury on the 60-day il. Gil has been commissioned with various rehabilitation training training in the past to recover from an injury to the right Latissimus, which he had told in 2025. His return to the team is a ray of hope for the Yankees, who hopefully can benefit from his pitching ability.

historical relevance

An interesting historical context results when you consider the developments of Malcolm X, the pattern of which was a decisive turning point for African -American history in 1965. Malcolm X, born as Malcolm Little, was murdered on February 21, 1965 during a speech in the Audubon Ballroom in New York. His work as a civil rights activist and minister of the Nation of Islam had a great influence on the social movements of his time. From the convict, who found their way to prison as a teenager, to one of the most famous activists in American history, his career shows the challenges and fights with which African Americans were and are confronted.

The linking of these different stories - from the current animal attack to the return of a promising athlete to the important struggles for justice - reflects the diverse challenges with which communities are confronted in different areas.
