Shoot the wolves is a single valid solution. But you don't want to hear it.
And I think you don't know how shepherd dogs work. Otherwise you would have dismissed that as a valid solution too.
- pvaldes 6y agoThey are more valuable alive than dead. > You don't know how shepherd dogs work Sorry but the facts speak loudly. Last month I had personally visited the area of Europe with a biggest density of wolves (excepting maybe Chernobyl). We tried, and failed, to see a single wolf. There were cows munching all around. There was deer scattered all around the valley. I walked the oak forest alone without any problem. In this area a single human with a few dogs manages routinely 300 sheep without losing a single one by wolves. Not a single attack reported in the entire year. Humanity has being doing the same for 4000 years. Is perfectly possible.
- spiderfarmer 6y agoSo you want farmers to return to the practices of 4000 year ago. Please come back to earth. You really think farmers should go back to being sheep herders. You really think that’s viable. Wow. It’s Europe. The sheep herders you mentioned are heavily subsidized, either by the government or by NGO’s. That’s not a viable solution for farmers at all.
- pvaldes 6y agoIf you want fine sheep cheese, you need sheep herders. Period. Until today, nobody has managed to teach sheep how to milk themselves in a machine and send the product by certified mail.
- spiderfarmer 6y agoMilking sheep while keeping an eye out 24/7 for wolves. Got it. Seems like it’s not a viable way to live in the West. But that’s exactly what you want, isn’t it. You hate farmers and everything that’s detrimental to their business is a plus in your book.
