    Capture of the vicuna (Vicugna vicugna) for sustainable use: Animal welfare implications
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2006) Bonacic, C.; Feber, R. E.; Macdonald, D. W.
    The current program of vicuna conservation includes their live-capture for wool harvest in the Andes Region in northern Chile. Here, we describe studies that assess the impacts on the species of different variables relating to the capture process. The immediate physical and physiological effects on vicuna of contrasting capture methods, chase distances and restraint were measured.
