Whew...and here I thought the US.gov bought 1.6 billion rounds of ammo to kill humans.
I feel a lot better, now.
I came up with that one a few weeks ago when yet another tiresome no-name midget Lefty commentator was castigating Sarah over something or other.
Isn't the article about "wildlife", not vermin? ;-)
And how many bizillion acres of America have been closed to hunting?
How many hunters have been denied access, denied permits?
How many Americans have gone to jail for shooting bears, cougars while defending themselves and/or their families?
How STUPID are the agents at USDA who can’t even practice the venerated “3 S” principle: Shoot, Shovel, Shut up.
Three eagles !! How many have been killed by their wind turbines. It’s a sure bet that number is off by a bit.
LOL, I imagine they were running in packs and attacking livestock.
Jackrabbits, kill them all.
My cousin is a government trapper, he only kills problem animals or over-populated areas.
What is sad is the loss of the pelts. Wolf, coyote and fox make lovely coats. They could of sold the pelts to a furrier instead of trashing them.
There was not enough wolves on the list. During spring, summer and fall, I have to take my dog out to potty in the evening fully armed in case a bloody wolf treks through. The wolves are decimating the moose, elk, deer and caribou up here. Beautiful canine, but too dangerous to keep anywhere but a zoo.
Knocking on wood, the grizzlies have not gone after our chickens... so far. Bears love black oil sunflower seeds, which can sometimes be in the chicken yard. We used to have bird/squirrel feeders at the edges of the property until the bears ripped them off the trees to consume the seeds.
But, but twenty five years ago the anti-hunters were bawling about how hunters were driving the prairie dog to extinction!
Wonder if they nailed any CONDORS or BLACK FOOTED FERRETS on their “killed but not reported” list.
And were they using lead ammo?
In some parts of the West, non-government rural residents are afraid of firing a firearm on their own large acreages. There’s been official talk behind the scenes of outlawing firearms discharges in some of the most sparsely populated counties.
LMAO!
