Urgent warning: Parents told not to take kids to Utrecht forest because of wolves.

A central Dutch province warns parents not to bring young children to a forest near Utrecht because of dangerous wolf encounters. The province is trying to get permission to kill the wolf, which is usually protected.

Recently, a wolf pushed over a child in Austerlitz. This event happened after another incident that caused a popular walking area to close.

Experts think the wolf's behavior is unusual and concerning. The same wolf might be responsible for earlier incidents involving a girl and a dog.

Wolves have moved into the Netherlands from Germany and were first officially seen again in 2019 after 200 years. They were welcomed by conservationists, but have caused problems by attacking livestock and getting close to people.

Earlier, a national park used a paintball gun to scare a wolf getting close to people. No severe injuries have been reported despite these encounters.
