When we heard about this here in Colorado, the first thing I said was “There’s some land issues here. Someone’s cattle was roaming on someone else’s property”
That’s pretty much what it turned out to be according to the local authorities awhile back. Can’t cite a link at the moment but it turned out that the guy who “authorized the shootings” simply gave a verbal go-ahead to some other folks.
Those folks doing the shooting “didn’t know any better”.
/sigh
I’m waiting to find out what comes out in court now to see how accurate all that was.
(btw we’re getting a quarter of a buffalo at the end of the month is a LEGAL shoot! lol)
In a Feb. 25 letter addressed to Antonino Salcedo, Hawn gave permission to Salcedo and his “Atzlan Native Community” colleagues, based in Gardner, Colo., to “remove the buffalo from my ranch.”
