In the first half of 2020, there were 47 wolf attacks on the farm and domestic animals in Podkarpacie. This is 13% less than in the first halves of 2019 and 2018 when wolves attacked 54 times. Sheep were the most frequently attacked species – 24 times. In addition, wolves attacked dogs – 3 times (cases where remains or other traces confirming the killing of dogs were found), cattle – 3 times, horses – 2 times and a goat. Wolves also attacked deer and farm fallow deer multiple times (14 times). There were more attacks on dogs, but they were non-purebred dogs for which there is no market valuation, and therefore, they are not included in the statistics. In addition, the wolves damaged the property’s fences during an attack on a large non-purebred dog (German Shepherd crossbreed), as well as during a hunt on deer – bull in the center of one of the villages.
