Can ranchers freely kill someone caught stealing cattle?
Git a rope.
Didn’t cattle rustling used to be a capital crime.
There was a way they were dealt with before. It’s lonely out there.
Rustler’s Paradise...
It’s a big deal too, lot of dollars involved.
Just read a novel this weekend (based on a true life story) about ranching in Arizona during the Depression era. It was “Half Broke Horses” by Jeannette Walls. Decent read.
In California, it’s ok to steal a cow valued at less than $950.
If you rustle a herd one at a time, it’s legal
The whole thing could be resolved in less than an hour if they would just bring in John & Casey Dutton from “Yellowstone” with the Livestock Agents. Of course, that’s the way they’d do it on TV...

Not just for kidnapped kids anymore!
I thought right to carry laws were going to bring back the “wild west”?
Thanks for posting this. I was not aware of this issue but with this lousy governor I am not surprised.
Laws? The gubment don’t need no stinkin laws to enforce against their kind.
It gets worse. Private investigators say there is overwhelming evidence that the cattle theft problem in Arizona is closely linked to drug trafficking. The drug cartels bragged to one detective that they and the Mafia own Arizona. He says Arizona is far more corrupt than Chicago.

One can bet that the drug money has been paid to politicians to turn a blind eye to the problem. Evidence for this is that they now attack anyone who complains about cattle theft. Corruption abounds at State and Federal levels.
Open and leased Range.
A lot of the land out here is Open and leased range. GD cattle look like dried beef on the hoof. Then they scream and howl because they cant get good prices for their cattle from the finishing yards.

Paging the McCain family...
Where’s Randolph Scott when he’s needed?
A little long range precision shooting will slow that business down.
well hey, if it’s OK to steal an election in AZ by stealing thousands of votes, what’s a few stolen cattle, right?
I live in Yavapai County (cattle country) and haven’t heard or read any news about cattle rustling.
