Brucellosis can be a problem. Female calves in Texas need a Bangs Vax. It’s a form of vd.

Shooting them from a helicopter only requires variances to 5 to 10 laws on Federal land probably. I imagine that jumping through the 10 more laws to have them herded and put to good use is too much for the pea-brains in Washington.

Homeless.

Give them some free tents.

[Nervous Tick]

>> over half the citizens in that state drink egregiously

Is that a Scotch? Never had it, is it any good?

“How can you shoot baby cows?”

“Easy! You just don’t lead ‘em as much!”

If you can kill an innocent healthy child, why is it so difficult to kill a sick cow? America has become an unrecognizable country.

Waiter to my mom “How would you like your steak, ma’am?
My mom’s response (always) “On the hoof”.

Read a book a few moons ago on the demise of American Bison...indicated Brucellosis as the culprit.

Do you want flies?

Because that’s how you get flies!!

Why don’t you let hunters hunt them and eat the meat?

What else can they do, it's not like there's anyone hungry in the US. Other than the local wolves.

[SaveFerris]

NOW it makes sense!!

[DannyTN]

kill a sick cow?

There was nothing in the excerpt that said they were sick. They're just unbranded.

"If you can kill house and feed an innocent healthy child undocumented illegal alien, why is it so difficult to kill a sick easy to kill an unbranded cow? America has become an unrecognizable country."

Fixed it.

[EinNYC]

Another worthless idea of the Department of Interior. The constant flow of illegals, dumping their garbage and filth on the landscape, causes far more damage than a few dozen cows. Leave the cows alone!

[waterhill]

Knock off the horns, wipe its a$$ and chunk it on the plate?

[Mark17]

I never heard of the term ‘feral cows” until now. It’s like saying:
“Dangerous Ducks!”

These people are full of bull (pun intended) 😆

[Ex-Episcopalian]

So accurate.

[HandyDandy]

Aim for the calf’s!

It would be interesting to watch what they turn into. It’s fascinating how quickly a pig will change once in the wild — hair, tusks, aggressiveness, and all...
