Exactly! Small predators, possums, skunks, rats etc. Birds peck their eyes and a$$ holes out too.
Good grief, how long have these ranchers been ranching any way?
I DON’T CARE how long your family has been ranching.
Other FREEPERS have ranches as well.
You are the first person I’ve ever come across who denied the facts and reported differently than the facts of many hundreds of ranchers.
I don’t know what you claim to have seen. It evidently was not a bona fide mutilation, much less a number of them.
I suppose there’s an outside chance that the human crews some claim are now involved, may have done some including on your family’s ranch and/or botched things deliberately to confuse the whole matter.
Birds and other predators do NOT excise anything with a precision that defies our understanding . . . slicing BETWEEN cells vs into cell walls.
