Residents of Sanahin village keep their doors and windows shut and
don’t go away from their cattle in pastures.

Four days on end wolves entered the village and tore down goats,
donkeys and pigs.

Shaliko Zurabyan’s donkey was also eaten by a wolf.

"All we had was a donkey which brought us grass and water. The animal
was tied in the garden. In the morning my son went to the garden to
find the tie in the grass. Half of the donkey was eaten up. We gave
the other half to dogs," says Shaliko Zurabyan.

The neighbour’s goat was eaten down the same afternoon. Residents no
longer send the cattle away.

"We have to stay by the cattle all day long. We don’t send them to
the forest as we have no weapon. We are placing railing on the windows
of cattle sheds so that no wolf can penetrate at night."

"No one saw wolves reaching the village before," tell villagers who
fear lest the animal should harm their children.
