Abstract In this comment, we emphasize the need to acknowledge that Andean Condors occasionally depart from their scavenging habits to injure or kill young livestock as an important first step to accepting the existence of a human-condor conflict. Estrada Pacheco et al. (2020) briefly admit a localized “strong conflict with the condor” due to perceived predation of cattle, however, throughout the bulk of the article, they treat the condor as a non-conflictive species accidentally killed in conflicts involving carnivorous predators. To stop Andean Condor mass poisonings in Argentina, the authors recommended two measures: (1) instating a National Law of Traceability and prescription of pesticides, and (2) engaging all stakeholders to resolve the human-carnivore (i.e., wild mammals) conflict. However, we are deeply concerned that denial of the underlying cause of the specific human-condor conflict leads to criminalizing illegal persecution and to ignoring calls for interdisciplinary research and management to tackle the conflict at its roots.

承认安第斯秃鹰捕食牲畜，这是解决人与秃鹰冲突的第一步：对埃斯特拉达·帕切科 (Estrada Pacheco) 等人的评论。(2020)

摘要 在此评论中，我们强调需要承认安第斯秃鹰偶尔会偏离其觅食习惯来伤害或杀死幼小的牲畜，这是接受人与秃鹰冲突存在的重要第一步。埃斯特拉达·帕切科 (Estrada Pacheco) 等人。（2020 年）简要承认由于感知到对牛的捕食而导致局部“与秃鹰的强烈冲突”，但是，在文章的大部分内容中，他们将秃鹰视为在涉及食肉掠食者的冲突中意外死亡的非冲突物种。为了阻止阿根廷安第斯秃鹰大规模中毒，作者建议采取两项措施：(1) 制定国家可追溯性法律和农药处方，以及 (2) 让所有利益相关者参与解决人类与食肉动物（即野生哺乳动物）之间的冲突。然而，
