Wolf attacks on livestock in Salamanca

Overview

A series of wolf attacks has targeted livestock in the Salamanca region of Spain. In early October, an attack on an Iberian pig farm in Santo Domingo de Ledesma resulted in one death, one injury, and one missing animal during the bellota season. The agricultural organization ASAJA Salamanca noted this was the third such incident in less than a week, highlighting the significant economic impact on high-value animals.

By mid-October, farmers in Encina de San Silvestre reported two consecutive attacks within a 48-hour period. These incidents resulted in the death of four sheep and one severe injury, with initial losses estimated at 1,500 euros. Beyond direct losses, farmers expressed concern over indirect impacts, such as potential ewe abortions caused by flock stress. Agricultural organizations, including UPA, are calling on public administrations for immediate preventive measures and support to protect regional farming activities.
