When this happens, both sides lose. Some people don't realise that predators are an important part of the ecosystem, and that many predators depend on farmland to survive. People and predators can live together - if appropriate techniques are used by farmers, they will lose fewer animals to predation, and will kill fewer predators. This book is designed to help farmers manage their livestock to minimise predation, benefiting both the farmers and the predators with which they share the land.
