Abstract		Brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus) and Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) still occur in Europe but they are forced to live in highly fragmented and human-dominated areas. Like in other parts of Europe they are perceived as a major threat to domestic livestock in most of the Slovenia region, especially in places where cohabitation is unavoidable and conflicts are daily. Predators can threaten sheep, cattle and other farmed domestic and wild animals. For livestock producers and government, depredation can be frustrating and costly. There were over 1000 attacks by predators and killed more than 3500 domestic and breeding wild animals between 1995 and 2001. The most frequent predator was bear while the most frequent prey was sheep. In this article we would like to present in detail the damage on livestock due to depredation between 1995 and 2001 and otherf indings concerning large carnivores in Slovenia.
Summary		Rjavi medved (Ursus arctos), volk (Canis lupus) in ris (Lynx lynx) se še vedno pojavljajo v Evropi, kjer pa so prisiljeni živeti v zelo razdrobljenih in z Ijudmi poseljenih področjih. Tako kot v ostalih evropskih državah, predstavljajo velike zveri tudi v Sloveniji glavno grožnjo domačim pašnim živalim. Ta je še posebej evidentna v krajih kjer se sobivanju ni mogoče izogniti in prihaja do stikov vsak dan. Predatorji lahko ogrožajo ovce, govedo kot tudi druge domače in gojene divje pašne živali. Za rejce in vlado predstavlja predatorstvo veliko neprijetnost, ki je povrhu še zelo draga. Med leti 1995 in 2001 je bilo zabeleženo preko 1000 napadov in ubitih preko 3500 domačih in gojenih divjih živali. Najpogoste je napade povzročal medved, med tem, ko je bila najpogostejša žrtev napadov ovca. V članku bi radi podrobneje predstavili škodo na domačih pašnih in gojenih divjih živalih, ki so jo med leti 1995 in 2001 v Sloveniji povzročili veliki predatorji.
