Jaguar attacks on pets and farm animals are a common problem, but after developing a drug-induced stomach ache, the big cats seem to learn not to kill certain animals

I thought that was a standard farming defense technique. Feed the local predators rotten sheep and they become disgusted at the sight of sheep.

@LennethAegis looks like this is a very similar process. But instead of waiting for the meat to rot, they are taking fresh meat lacing it with dewormer, and wrapping it in animal skin.
