Hessischer Bauernverband

The Hessischer Bauernverband is a farmers' association in the German state of Hesse. It represents the interests of farmers in the region on a variety of agricultural and rural issues. The organization is currently newsworthy due to the recent incident in Hamburg where a wolf injured a passerby. Volker Lein, a representative of the Hessischer Bauernverband, has been quoted in news articles discussing the event. Lein's perspective is sought after because the incident is the first of its kind since wolves returned to Germany. He offered insights into the wolf's behavior, suggesting it was likely disoriented and stressed, having wandered into an urban environment. The association's involvement highlights the ongoing debate and concerns surrounding the increasing wolf population in Germany and its potential impact on both humans and livestock.
