Study questions effectiveness of wolf hunting for livestock loss prevention
From VP-MI.com:
The logic goes: wolves kill livestock, so killing more wolves means less livestock loss. But researchers have found that’s not quite the case.
A new study published in the journal Science Advances analyzed wolf hunting across the western U.S. It determined hunting is not the most effective method for addressing livestock loss.
“You’d have to kill quite a few wolves in order to save one cow, on average,” says Leandra Merz, the paper’s lead author.
