Another threat are farmers. a long time ago farmers would set traps for them. That is because the tasmanian devils would eat their animals, until they had almost nothing left. they would also set traps for them because of their growling noise. The noise would scare the animals, and they couldn’t get the animals to calm down. At one point they were almost hunted until extinction.
