Dholes Prey on Mithuns in Arunachal Pradesh Due to Prey Loss

Imagine big wild dogs, called dholes, are hunting cows called mithuns in a place called Arunachal Pradesh.

These dholes are usually hunting other animals, but those animals are disappearing because people are hunting them.

So, the dholes started attacking the mithuns instead.

The farmers who own the mithuns are losing money because they sell them.

Also, the government gives money to farmers to cover the loss, but it's not enough.

Some farmers are angry and frustrated with the slow compensation process.

This creates conflict, because villagers sometimes retaliate against the dholes, which are already endangered.

The problem is made worse because of hunting and deforestation in the area.
