Pregnant cow found dead in wolf attack on the Miranda highlands

Jornal Nordeste15 September 2026 at 09:00

A farmer from the Miranda highlands saw one of his pregnant cows die after a wolf attack. The incident occurred in the Miranda highlands region, an area traditionally affected by predator attacks.

The farmer expressed his displeasure with the situation, saying he would have preferred the animal to have been stolen for breeding elsewhere than to witness what happened.

This case falls within the context of recurring conflicts between livestock farming and the presence of wolves in the Trás-os-Montes region. The Miranda highlands is one of the areas in northeastern Trás-os-Montes where wolf attacks on domestic animals continue to be a constant concern for livestock farmers.

Why this matters

Livestock farmers in the Miranda highlands region face significant economic losses due to wolf attacks on their animals. This incident illustrates the ongoing conflict between the conservation of the Iberian wolf and traditional livestock farming in the region.
