You have a good idea with the fences, but why bother with the animals?
How about putting landmines in between the two fences instead? Oh, and make the fences, at least 100 yards apart.

Well I tell ya, when they get to the point where you can say their nuts as say a walnut or pecan, then it is time to haul them off to the hospital.
Don't even thinking of leaving a car or truck unattended for a few weeks in the summer in the MS Delta. You won't see it again until the winter, if even then!
Yeah those cotton picken predators sure are bothersome aint they?
Yup, they surely did, didn't they.
I always love when they drag that one out. When the Indians crossed the land bridge 10K years ago, the Americas still had mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and indigenous versions of horses and cows. All of them disappeared long before the coming of the white man.
As I remember, Texans are able to lawfully shoot cougar as varmints. Other cats would be dealt with similarly, I would be willing to bet.
"Misguided" isn't the word - "deranged" is more accurate.
Whenever some academic starts prattling about "endangered" animals, brace yourself because next comes a demand for funding to support that "endangered" animal.
The Endahgered Species Act has become a source of funding for the academic world, a tool for socialists wanting to convert America to a socialist government, and has helped virtually no species other that the population of ParkPersons.
What is it with these stinking do-gooders ..??
They don't have to put up with the animals who will be out of their natural habitat .. but who cares .. it's the intentions that count .. not the results.. right ..?? [/s]
My first thought too, bigger road kill.
These bozos have no idea of the many diseases that would be released upon the North American continent. Just a couple of animal diseases that are indiginous to the African continent would wipe out our cattle and horse herds here in the US, not to mention the native deer population. And the potential for zoonotic diseases would be high. Yes, thats all we need here in the US, a little malaria, sleeping sickness, Rift Valley Fever, African swine disease, and some that are not even on the radar.
We also don't need African rinderpest infecting non-resistant American livestock and decimating herds, or tsetse flies bringing in sleeping sickness.
Lions are over there for a reason. Elephants are over there for a reason. These guys need to leave it alone.
The more normal load is .416 Rigby in a double-rifle...or .475 Nitro Express!
That hunter needs his head examined. Or was the buffalo tethered?
No, it wasn't tethered. Just prior to this kill, he traveled to Africa and took #25 and #23 in the world with a bow. (They were under attack and in retreat mode when he got off his shot for #23. It was discovered two weeks after he returned home.) He can accurately hit the heart of a target at 92 yards, the test he had to pass before they allowed him to bow hunt. He's incredibly talented.
I hunt....I kill animals in the wild....It is what defines my life for the past 30 years.....
You would enjoy meeting my husband as I can just hear him making those exact comments. If you're ever in or around lower Alabama, holler.
