Same thing happened here in WA. Once the wolves figured out that Herefords don’t run as fast as elk, the state was forking out money left and right. Didn’t take long till you had to have proof of range riders, these stupid flashing red and blue lights and a bunch of other stuff that doesn’t work to get reimbursed.
Except here it wasn’t a bill, they just decided for us. Because a bunch of people in Olympia Washington who’ve never seen a wolf or cow know what’s best for us…
What a lot of people don’t understand is it’s not just the killing of livestock that hurts the ranchers; it’s the lack of pregnancies. Stressed cattle don’t breed well. Ranchers here went from 95% of mother cows calving in the spring down to 50-60%.
