The Sagebrush Rebellion returns, it seems.
“Prior to 2001, the Department of Agriculture inventoried the elk by counting heads. In 2001 they decided each elk needed an individual inventory. This required catching each elk and reading their small metal ear tags...Rex was unable to catch nine elk that were on the mountain, but still contained in his 1000 acre facility. Because he couldn’t catch the elk and refused to dart them, the Department of Agriculture refused to renew his license.”
Is that the US DOA or the Idaho DOA? In either case, why do they have the authority to impose onerous regulations that can drive people out of business?
I thought laws were supposed to come from legislatures.
