The Swedish press, getting it done:

Wolves and other beasts of prey take too much blame for the mysterious deaths of tame animals. Half of all deaths blamed on wild animals can in fact be attributed to other causes, say researchers. So far this year animal owners have reported 145 attacks supposedly carried out by creatures such as wolves, bears and lynxes. But it has often emerged that the animals in fact died of illness or injury and were later attacked by birds or foxes, or that their lives were cut short by dogs. “It is difficult to pin down the cause of a tame animal’s death. Many people have no idea what an injury inflicted by a wild animal looks like. “If there is known to be a wolf in the area it is common for it to get the blame for any dead animals that are found,” Jens Karlsson from Grimsö Wildlife Research Station told Svenska Dagbladet.
