There is a solution, guards dogs. Pyrenean Mastiffs, Caucasian Shepherds etc. work pretty well in deterring any wolf attacks. Wolves are very risk averse and will go for easier prey as long as it's available.
- jebarker 3y agoThere are herds of sheep roaming on public land in southwest Colorado protected by Great Pyrenees. I assume that it's protection against mountain lions mostly. Those dogs are probably the most threatening thing to humans out hiking in those areas though!

People get killed too often by Patous in France, I’ve known at least 2 people who got attacked (one of which _maced_ the dog, I find that hilarious in retrospect)
- 29athrowaway 3y agoDogs need food of the expensive kind: meat. They need shelter, and overall they are expensive and high maintenance. On the other hand, a llama just grazes along with the other animals, produces good quality fertilizer, has tax benefits, can be sheared for wool, and the offspring can be sold for thousands of dollars. And on top of all that, can be used as a pack animal. Plus, llamas won't cause you dramas with your kids or other pets or neighbors, won't dig tunnels and escape, etc.
