If those were wild sheep, and the wolves came there on their own like the other comments said, isn't that just nature working as intended?
If those were private sheep, shouldn't they be better guarded?

That's somewhat distinct from going further beyond their boundaries to wipe out threats not directly on their land.
In the UK we've not had wolves for >200 years. Which means techniques for dealing with them have been lost, and more importantly didn't evolve with land use change. hearders used to carry weapons, and guard dogs. some places had fainting goats.
I'm not sure how wolves would work in the netherlands, as the parts that I know are all way west of the ijssel. I don't imagine that wolves are fen/polder dwellers, but I might be wrong. Again looking at the norfolk/cambridge fens there are plenty of folklore tales https://www.norfolkfolkloresociety.co.uk/post/the-spectral-w...
When I answered your question above I was pretty specific in the wording, perhaps you're letting some personal PoV read to much into what others are saying.
Do you have, for example, any thoughts on conservation and the dynamics between native humans, self introduced humans, endangered bilbies, dingos, introduced feral cats and foxes?
