Half (50%) of the interviewees believed that dholes will attack a person, and a majority (61%) agreed that dholes will attack livestock (Fig. 3). There were slightly more people (51%) who moderately or strongly agreed with the statement that “dholes are dangerous” (Fig. 3). More respondents (38%) agreed than disagreed with the idea that dholes are over-abundant, and only 12% moderately or strongly agreed that dholes should be eliminated from the surrounding forest. Ten variables had a significant variable importance in predicting the degree to which a respondent agreed that dholes should be eliminated (Fig. 4). The two variables of most importance were Dangerous and Attack Person.
