[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1806568, member: 43196"] It's unfortunate, but cows, and other livestock, do get shot. I won't say it's frequent, but it's definitely not 'isolated' cases either and it is somewhat regular. Do 'hunters' shoot cows? Well, a true hunter doesn't, at least not intentionally. I have heard tell of farmers/ranchers that, just before hunting season, they will paint in 2 foot letters the word "COW" on the sides of their animals in florescent orange or yellow to prevent hunters from "accidentally" mistaking "Bessie" for "Bucky". And then you have poachers, who are not 'hunters' either. They at times poach livestock as well as wildlife. Then you have 'joy riders' who often have a gun and just drive around killing animals at random......deer, cows, horses, dogs, cats.....dare I say people? And then there are 'stray' bullets where the animal was never the intended target at all. Do livestock get shot? Yes. On a 'regular' basis? I can say yes with a degree of confidence. Is it frequent? Depends on your definition of frequent, but not every day. Why are they shot? Multiple reasons. [/QUOTE]
