Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “Livestock predation depends more on favorable conditions for successful hunting (e.g., dense cover or lax husbandry) rather than on mere availability of livestock (Bagchi and Mishra, 2006; Sangay and Vernes, 2008; Kabir et al., 2014).”
A Meta-Analysis of Human–Wildlife Conflict: South African and Global Perspectives (2016, background): “Developing countries, such as India [13], Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon [14], Uganda [15] and Bhutan [16], experience a wide variety of depredation by problem animals when compared with developed countries [6].”
Forest without prey: livestock sustain a leopard Panthera pardus population in Pakistan (2014, background): “Actual loss of livestock may be even higher than that observed in the diet analysis because leopards are considered to be surplus killers and have been reported to kill up to 22 sheep in a single attack (Sangay & Vernes, 2008).”
Food habits of the snow leopard Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775) in Baltistan, Northern Pakistan (2011, methodology): “Data collected by local compensation schemes have also been used to assess the livestock damage caused by different predators including snow leopards (Sangay and Vernes 2008).”
