As wolf attacks rise, villagers and scientists hunt for answers [Bahraich, India]
From Mongabay.com:
In Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, fear has gripped villages after a series of suspected wolf attacks left six people dead and several others injured. Experts, however, question whether wolves are truly behind the attacks, pointing instead to shrinking habitats, seasonal floods, and the growing presence of feral dogs or hybrids as possible causes.
Wildlife biologists call for genetic testing and research-based investigations, stressing that fear and misinformation are deepening human-animal conflict in a landscape where wolves have long coexisted with people.
