A large majority of cases of livestock predation by wild felids reflect some type of disequilibrium of the local ecosystem. Felids do not have the natural habit of attacking domestic livestock. If the environment in which they live provides them enough space to survive, with sufficient food resources and little or no human impact, they tend to avoid humans and their livestock. Thus, the absence or reduction of natural prey (due to poaching or due to the transmission of diseases of domestic livestock) can result in the initiation of livestock attacks by large cats in border areas between conservation areas and rural properties. |
