BIDEN ORDERS EARTAGGED COWS KILLED IN NEW MEXICO TO PLEASE ENVIRO WACKOS!

Less than 24 hours before bullets are set to fly, a group of animal activists including the Humane Farming Association hopes an 11th-hour lawsuit stops the planned aerial slaughter of 150 cattle in New Mexico.

During a federally-approved, three day-event set to start Thursday, the U.S. Forest Service plans to shoot feral cattle from a helicopter roaming a southwestern area of the state.

The federal agency announced its decision on Feb. 16, explaining feral cattle on the 560,000-acre Gila Wilderness Area “pose a significant threat to public safety and natural resources."

Opponents including The New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) this week asked a judge to grant a temporary restraining order to stop the mass killing. A hearing on the scheduled slaughter is set for Wednesday morning, court records show.

“The 560,000-acre Gila Wilderness Area “pose a significant threat to public safety and natural resources” I was watching a video the other day that said it was the least visited wilderness area in the entire US.

I think it was during the Clinton years that they shot a bunch of feral donkeys in the Grand Canyon because they were concerned about erosion. Grand Canyon...erosion....

I hope someone videotapes it and plays it on a loop if that demented POS thinks about running again.

Also should be played on the LCD billboards wherever he goes.

Officials plan to shoot humans over 65 from the sky Thursday. Old Joe approves.

Imagine if they announced that they were going to do this to illegal border jumpers... Bet the “influx” would end real quick.

What a ridiculous waste of perfectly good livestock-in the country, every livestock animal is valuable as meat, for breeding, dairy, etc just hire some ranch hands used to rounding up stock, send them with their horses and/or ATV’s out to the Gila wilderness, round up the cattle, load and truck them to a central location-then have a huge cattle sale-reasonable prices for ranchers to acquire livestock. But I guess that would make too much sense...

150 cows threaten 560,000 acres?

Well it could get out of control, pretty soon it might be 200 cows roaming around 560,000 acres.
