The request was made during a working day held in Prullans, in Cerdanya, where farmers and representatives of sector entities shared their concerns. The meeting highlighted the need for a swift response from the administration to what they perceive as a growing threat to extensive livestock farming.
During the session, it was emphasized that the wolf's presence is already a reality in Catalonia, with a count of about ten individuals. This proliferation, according to experts, could have a “very serious” impact on the region's traditional livestock activity.
“"The sector fears the wolf more than the bear because the wolf is lethal, it attacks to kill, while the bear does so out of hunger."
Representatives from Cantabria, who also participated in the event, provided alarming data, indicating that in 2025, nearly 3,000 wolf attacks on livestock were recorded in their autonomous community, a figure three times higher than in 2021. These data reinforce the Catalan farmers' demand for immediate and decisive action from the authorities.
The Government has already announced the implementation of aid to address this issue, but the sector insists on the urgency of its application and the need for it to be “agile and generous” to compensate for potential losses suffered by farmers.
