"I understand the fact that stressed animals are not as productive, yet what is the solution? Do we re-irradicate them? That caused far more problems historically that effect far more people then a couple of "light" cattle."

Whew, sounds like you have read a few Sierra Club, Humane Society of America, Friends of Animals, and other propaganda.

"That caused far more problems historically that effect far more people then a couple of "light" cattle."

I admit though, light cattle is a phenonoman (sp) that can be dealt with. You know, man, we need to just let the animals populate their fomer range, live in harmony.

Send a few dollars to some animal "protection" groups, you know they have the same goals.Who wouldn't want a "cruelty free conscience?"

Oh, and could you elaborate and give us some documented facts about your last sentence, this one:

"That caused far more problems historically that effect far more people then a couple of "light" cattle."

I am no going to start going through texts to site specifics, but common sense predator prey relationships tell us some basic information:
When you remove a top predator from a system it;
a) allows secondary predators to overpopulate (in this case those would primarily be coyotes), which have caused far more everyday problems such as; interbreeding with domestic dogs, killing domestic dogs, attacks on livestock. Coyotes well opportunistic like wolves; are also scavengers, which means garbage cans are basically fair game, which literally can bring them to your doorstep.
b) Larger prey that the secondary predators don't see as on the menu also over populate and inbreed (various deer overpopulation in many states, chronic wasting disease...which by many is thought to be at least partially caused by a shallow gene pool).
