Wolves have been attacking animals in various areas of Alto Minho and Trás-os-Montes, causing significant losses to local farmers. The attacks have been occurring with increasing frequency, affecting agricultural farms in both regions.
Livestock farmers are the main ones affected by these attacks, who say they face substantial economic losses. Many producers report the death of animals from their farms, resulting in considerable material damage.
According to the article, wolves have been approaching populated areas in search of food, which has increased contact with the agricultural and livestock activities of local communities. This approach to inhabited areas explains, in part, the frequency of the recorded attacks.
Farmers have expressed their concern about the situation and are demanding measures that protect their flocks and minimize the losses caused by these wild animals on their properties.
