[WOLVES HOWLING]

GERSIN PAYA: After a century and a half in exile, wolves
have returned to Germany, finding their way back from
Eastern Europe.
The Germans, however, are not used to these fabulous
creatures prowling through their forests.
Many fear the predator and has killer instincts.
Werner Freund is an adventurer, and a former
Marine in the German army.
He has been living with wolves for over 40 years and as the
leader of his own wolf pack.
A couple of years ago, he suffered a severe stroke, but
the wolves continue to treat him as one of them.

GERSIN PAYA: Not everyone shares Werner's
love for the wolves.
During the last 12 months, wolves have attacked and
killed grazing animals in their fields,
sometimes whole flocks.
In a countryside pub outside Berlin, farmers and villagers
gather to exchange their fears and join together to fight
against the wolf.
