Why did the ranchers and farmers hate the Tasmanian devils?
Australia does not have ranchers. This is an American term. The farmers and landowners in Tasmania believed that the Tasmanian devil (and its distant cousin, the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger) were a threat to their livestock. They were concerned that these animals would kill off their stock. The Tasmanian devil did pose some threat to the farmers' poultry. The landowners did not realise that Tasmanian devils prefer carrion and smaller, easy prey, and that they tend to occupy areas where there is a lot of undergrowth, rather than to venture out into the open agricultural areas. They farmers also expected the behaviour of Tasmanian devils to be like that of foxes and wild dogs, which often involved indiscriminate killing. Tasmanian devils only killed what they needed to eat, and were far less of a threat than the introduced foxes, dogs and feral cats.

Do Tasmanian Devils attack humans?
A Tasmanian Devil will tackle anything up to wombat size to get a meal. Although they are perfectly capable of removing a finger with one bite, they would not hunt humans, or attack, other than in self defense.

Why do you think that the farmers and ranchers of Australia hate Tasmania devils?
Australia does not have ranchers. This is an American term. Farmers and other landowners in Australia do not hate the Tasmanian devil, as they are now better informed that this marsupial does not pose any real threat to their stock. Many years ago, however, the landowners believed that the Tasmanian devil (and its distant cousin, the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger) were a threat to their livestock. They were concerned that these animals would kill off their stock. The Tasmanian devil did pose some threat to the farmers' poultry. These people did not realise that Tasmanian devils prefer carrion and smaller, easy prey, and that they tend to occupy areas where there is a lot of undergrowth, rather than to venture out into the open agricultural areas. They farmers also expected the behaviour of Tasmanian devils to be like that of foxes and wild dogs, which often involved indiscriminate killing. Tasmanian devils only killed what they needed to eat, and were far less of a threat than the introduced foxes, dogs and feral cats.

Does Tasmanian wolves lay eggs or have live birth?
As far as I know. There is no such living thing (animal) as a Tasmanian wolf. The nearest thing was the Tasmanian Tiger (Phylocene) and it is reputed to be extinct. It was a marsupial which means it gave birth to young not eggs.
Why does history consider pagans evil?
"History", at least as far as books go, was largely written by Christian monks. Christians were biased in their writings. Have you ever heard the expression: The gods of an old religion become the devils of the new?
What year was the Tasmanian devil diagnosed with a facial tumour disease?
The Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is a fatal condition which causes cancers around the face and head of Tasmanian Devils. It first appears as small lesions and lumps around the animal's mouth which grow quite quickly, inhibiting the Devil's ability to feed. They slowly starve to death, whilst their their bodily functions gradually break down. It spreads from animal to animal through them biting each other, and given that this is natural behaviour for Devils, it means that the disease can quickly spread through a population. Whilst there is no actual cure for the disease yet, scientists have identified the genetic marker that causes Tasmanian devils to be predisposed to the disease, and this will go a long way towards finding a cure. Also, scientists have recently reported promising results in cancer cures from a drug manufactured from a certain type of brushwood in the North Queensland tropical rainforests. This has worked successfully in trials on cancerous tumours in cats, dogs and horses, and as well as being hoped to be a potential cure in human cancers, it is also hoped to be able to be used against DFTD.
