Conservation Challenges of Predator Recovery (2016, background): “Rebounding wolf populations have increased wolf predation on livestock, costing ranchers tens of thousands of dollars annually (Muhly & Musiani 2009).”
Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores (2014, background): “This is not to deny that large carnivores also have direct costs, often associated with livestock losses (60), and balancing these costs against potential benefits for human-dominated ecosystems as a whole is a pressing challenge (61).”
More than fear: role of emotions in acceptability of lethal control of wolves (2014, background): “Yet, wolves often present problems such as economic losses to farmers (Muhly and Musiani 2009), competition for prey (Treves et al. 2013), and perceived risks to humans and pets (Bisi et al. 2007; Houston et al. 2010; Mech 1995).”
