#ranching

So, let me get this straight: We decimate the wildlife that used to live here by taking over their land to raise cows so we can eat far more meat and dairy products than we need or that is healthy, and then we get all up in arms if we lose a few animals to the apex predators that were here to begin with, as they dare to hunt what's still around after we replaced their original prey with cows?

It's ear-tagging and DNA tissue-sampling day at Rancher's Reserve in Okeechobee, which can be stressful on cows and humans alike.
