BIDEN ORDERS EARTAGGED COWS KILLED IN NEW MEXICO TO PLEASE ENVIRO WACKOS!

Less than 24 hours before bullets are set to fly, a group of animal activists including the Humane Farming Association hopes an 11th-hour lawsuit stops the planned aerial slaughter of 150 cattle in New Mexico.

During a federally-approved, three day-event set to start Thursday, the U.S. Forest Service plans to shoot feral cattle from a helicopter roaming a southwestern area of the state.

The federal agency announced its decision on Feb. 16, explaining feral cattle on the 560,000-acre Gila Wilderness Area “pose a significant threat to public safety and natural resources."

Opponents including The New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) this week asked a judge to grant a temporary restraining order to stop the mass killing. A hearing on the scheduled slaughter is set for Wednesday morning, court records show.

They will be on the ground.WOLVES, Mountain Lions, will scavange the carcass’, and go after coraled livestock. These COWS are Livestock, who got loose, as this area was hard hit economically and Farmer/Ranchers can’t afford to keep fences mended. Eartags means Registered to a Farmer/Rancher, the local Livestock Exchange will have records.

They have had the Flight/Fight bred out of them.

First it was 150, now they are saying 300+ Many Hiefers will be carrying calves to boot this time of the year.

“Menacing hikers? Enserio? Are the hikers not carrying bear spray and maybe a sidearm? The bears, coyotes and mountain lions in wilderness areas can be menacing, too-and they sometimes attack and kill people, when prey animals are scarce sometimes-cows don’t...

Aggressive cattle are dangerous for sure, even in a pasture-smart people learn to stay away-I’ve never tried bear spray on a mean bovine, but I suppose it might work...

I’d think an easier way to be rid of the cows is simply to declare open season, no limits to all rednecks. Only rule is you take whatever you kill after it’s been dressed.

Those cattle would be gone in a weekend.

The left’s war on the right, food producers, beef and real food continues.

Why wait to blow up the food processing plants? Just kill the animals and then you can shutter them for lack of business.

They also rounded up the feral burros OUT of Death Valley Park-—Many many acres-—not that many burros.

Real Wild Horses, like the kind you see in real old westerns are killed off yearly. Yet we need to protect a white headed Woodpecker that doesn’t exist, or a bug, Gates needs those for your meat they plan to do away with.

How retarded is the Biden junta? Ferral cows do not have ear tags. This is the work of a bunch of vegan tree huggers. Why not use the cattle to feed the needy?

Eartags replaced branding for smaller operations. This isn’t like Yellowstone with thousands of cattle. Small ranchers and farmers.

Cattle ID Methods, From Branding to Tagging, tells the story of why.
https://americancattlemen.com/articles/cattle-id-methods-branding-tagging
Hot iron brands have been the standard and legal way to identify ownership of cattle, but many other identification systems are often used for individual identification and herd records – such as freeze branding, ear tags, brisket tags, neck chains with numbers, lip and ear tattoos, horn brands, etc.

Every ranch-raised person-I’m one-knows that even in poor grazing areas-woods, arid terrain, etc it is okay to graze a cow-even one with a calf on 50-60 acres-so the fake concern with damage caused by grazing even 300 cows on 560,000 acres is pure bulls***

These dumbasses really hate for normal people to have beef to eat-and this is even non-feed lot, free range beef on the hoof-I pay extra for that at the local butcher shop...

They want them to die off, part of Davos Depopulation plans.

TN deer are said to be carrying a virus, BS. Eggs have to be destroyed because they fight Covid Spike Protiens. So fake test are used to slaughter whole producer plants of chickens and eggs. Not happening to sm. farmer or homesteaders.

Producer Pride/Tractor Supply chickens stop laying was the beginning of the story.

I’m just asking how you know these 150 cows are tagged? The article says they are feral.

If they tagged or branded, they are strays with owners, not ferals. Why is USFS not requiring the owners to remove them? Or are they actively interfering in not allowing known owners to remove their property?
