## Resource

New research from UC Davis reveals wolves in Northern California are eating more cattle than previously thought—cattle make up half their diet, according to DNA analysis of droppings. While this fuels debate over wolf conservation costs and rancher impacts, experts caution the data can’t distinguish between wolves killing healthy cows or scavenging dead ones. Critics also question sample collection methods, suggesting cattle consumption might be overstated. The findings highlight a complex balancing act: protecting wolves while safeguarding livelihoods.
