In #NewMexico gaan 150 koeien die in het wild leven ('unbranded and stray cows') afgeschoten worden vanuit een helikopter. 😞

Omdat ze zogezegd agressief zijn naar mensen en schade toebrengen aan het ecosysteem.

Denk dat de miljoenen koeien die gekweekt worden door mensen een groter probleem zijn voor het #milieu, #natuur en #klimaatverandering dan deze 150 #outlaws ... Maar deze koeien brengen niets op natuurlijk :-/

Kill order for New Mexico feral cows issued by US officials

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A helicopter with a shooter will fly over a portion of the vast Gila Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico next week, searching for feral cows to kill. U.S. Forest Service managers approved the plan Thursday to protect sensitive spots in the nation's first designated wilderness area.

After hearing arguments on Wednesday, Judge James O. Browning of U.S. District Court in Albuquerque denied the plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order, enabling the Forest Service to proceed with its culling operation on Thursday.

Feral Cattle in New Mexico Will Be Shot From Helicopters

U.S. agencies have enlisted aerial shooters to cull about 150 cattle that trample habitats and threaten hikers in the Gila Wilderness. Cattle growers say the plan violates laws and regulations.

"According to the Forest Service, the feral cattle problem dates back a half-century, when a cattle operation went out of business and subsequent grazing permits were suspended. Hundreds of unauthorized cattle have been removed over the years."
