Jaguar poisoning in southern Brazilian Amazonia
2012 Cat News (57): 09-11
We have recorded jaguar _Panthera onca_ poisoning in retaliation for livestock depredation on ranches in Southern Brazilian Amazonia. This manuscript presents anecdotal information about jaguar poisoning obtained during a systematic survey of livestock depredation by large cats. Ranchers have applied various types of poisons to livestock carcasses in an effort to kill jaguars. In addition, non-target species have been affected, including wild and domestic animals.
