A kill order has been issued for 150 cattle in Gila Wilderness, a protected backcountry area in New Mexico.
The U.S. Forest Service announced its decision in a news release, explaining that feral cattle roaming the southwestern area of the state “pose a significant threat to public safety and natural resources."
The move, set to take place in part of the Gila National Forest, sets the stage for more legal challenges over how to handle wayward livestock as drought maintains its grip on the West.
Feral cows folks. Significant threat to PUBLIC SAFETY everyone.
Cattle.
Is PETA going to protest? Nooooo?
