We don't HAVE any large carnivores for them to be protected against! Heck before the first people arrived the only mammal on these islands was a tiny bat. Interesting instincts the alpacas have there though, to guard other animals. I live in New Zealand and have never, ever heard of people using alpacas to guard sheep.

Works too, when I was out at the ranch ysterday, the llamas in the front field started to move toward the dogs, which alerted us to the dogs presence.

Seemed to work, and llamas are cool animals. I knew some people in Texas who used llamas for sheep/goat protection from coyotes. Seemed to work, and llamas are cool animals.
