Federal Government Announces Agents Will Be Shooting Cattle from Helicopters. ( New Mexico and .. )
Western Journal ^ | February 19, 2023 | Peter Partoll

The Federal Government has announced a plan to begin shooting feral cattle from helicopters in order to protect the environment.

...

Local ranchers, however, have criticized the plan as cruel and have warned about the unintended consequences ...

They say it sets a dangerous precedent, as more and more ranching plots are left vacant across the West and fences become untended. They claim that this could result in privately owned cattle wandering off and getting caught up in the mix.

...

ranchers are also worried that the wolves who eat the carcasses of the dead animals will become used to eating cattle and will come closer to ranches in order to find more to eat.

...

wolves may be encouraged to kill privately-owned cattle.

But it is not only in New Mexico that initiatives such as these risk doing real-world harm to ordinary people. In Europe, for instance, many farmers want laws protecting wolves to be relaxed after complaining that wolves are coming to their farms and killing their livestock.

...

The left has for years lobbied for a “green new deal” in order to combat climate change, but critics have argued that this will lead to an energy shortage and the widespread failure of the electrical system.

Meanwhile, there is also a push among the leftist for electric vehicles as a replacement for gas-powered ones — despite the fact that EVs are expensive and have shown themselves to be inefficient and unreliable.

....

But the left is so ideologically driven, it would rather see people’s livelihoods ruined than compromise on its agenda.

Killing cows protects us from what, farts? Imbeciles. They want us dead. The NWO is moving at a fast pace.

This should help raise food prices even higher. Brilliant.

“Federal Government Announces Agents Will Be Shooting Cattle from Helicopters.”

Whatever it takes to end the addiction of Americans to meat, particularly beef - and help ‘encourage’ them to transition to bugs.

But look over there!!! Ruzzia has invaded Ukraine!

To protect the environment? Like flying around in helicopters burning fuel?

This plan will be scrapped as soon as they realize feeding on the cow carcasses is deadly to the endangered bluegreen longwinged drygrass locust-cricket.

“who would love to get the go ahead to round up those cattle.”

I know folks who would pay to do it as long as they could keep the cattle.
One week vacation in NM with your 4wheeler/jeep/horses camping out plus lots of hamburger.

They’re just ranchers and dirt-farmers trying to make a living, but to woke Democrats, they’re expendable.
