In #NewMexico gaan 150 koeien die in het wild leven ('unbranded and stray cows') afgeschoten worden vanuit een helikopter. 😞

Omdat ze zogezegd agressief zijn naar mensen en schade toebrengen aan het ecosysteem.

Denk dat de miljoenen koeien die gekweekt worden door mensen een groter probleem zijn voor het #milieu, #natuur en #klimaatverandering dan deze 150 #outlaws ... Maar deze koeien brengen niets op natuurlijk :-/

After hearing arguments on Wednesday, Judge James O. Browning of U.S. District Court in Albuquerque denied the plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order, enabling the Forest Service to proceed with its culling operation on Thursday.

"According to the Forest Service, the feral cattle problem dates back a half-century, when a cattle operation went out of business and subsequent grazing permits were suspended. Hundreds of unauthorized cattle have been removed over the years."
