In Bahraich, India, wolf attacks on humans may be linked to starvation, prompting a biologist to suggest using goats and sheep as bait to redirect the wolves' predatory behavior away from villages. The biologist noted that a single wolf is responsible for the attacks and that historical crossbreeding of wolves with dogs could have diminished their fear of humans. Meanwhile, in New Zealand, farmers are exploring the profitability of cashmere goats as an alternative income source in sheep and beef farming, with a project demonstrating environmental benefits and market potential for cashmere. In North Otago, farmers are selling sheep to sustain other business ventures amid economic challenges, with lambs fetching competitive prices at local sales. Additionally, cashmere goats are attracting international tourism at Lunan Bay Farm in Angus, where visitors engage in hands-on experiences related to cashmere production. Finally, the New Zealand yarn manufacturer Woolyarns is considering cashmere production as a viable alternative to possum fiber amid the government's predator-free aspirations, highlighting the growing market demand for sustainable cashmere.
