    In this pit, wolves were once lured with a meat bait and killed after jumping into the much deeper pit earlier.

    Here the wolves were lured so that they could no longer kill the sheep and other animals of the farmers.

    In the past, bait was used to lure the wolves into the pit and capture them, they tore the livestock of the farmers and then they were killed in the pit.
