[QUOTE="preston39, post: 89110, member: 1487"] ====== caustic, Sorry the post was not clear and/or incomplete. Just as I inferred...PETA watches/reads these type boards...because they disagree...generally that ranchers should be able to protect their investment against predatory wild animals. They watch the fashion industry and ranched furry critters and others also. I am sure they would refer to it in a different fashion but, that's what it comes down to. So there is a general...waiting to attack syndrome...... out there consistent with their charter.....eg...protect wild life. Since they don't agree that cattleman need and must have the right to protect...thus the adage that if you.... "don't like the message'...... and laws restrain..." attack the messinger"... when you can. Contrary to some thinking, I happen to believe PETA has done a wonderful historical job with protecting and fostering tolerance of our wild life. I love all of G-d's little ceatures. However,(I hope they are reading this one ) they are going about it the wrong way IMO. They should be working to establish a fund...... national/by state.... which reimburses a rancher for the validated loss by wild life to the operation, based on harvest time value. If that should happen I doubt anyone on this board would even be talking about a yote, cougar,etc.,because there would be no need. Some would say such system would be abused with false charges againist predators. There's a very simple solution. The sheriff or game management official in the area must see and validate the loss. The rancher gets paid...very few predators killed(limited) everyone would be happy. Notwithstanding the argument by some that we cannot afford it..we are spending a billion a day(IMO) in Iraq,...with Iran and North Korean conflicts starring us in the face. We can afford it. The rancher has always had to bear the brunt of of their losses in our society...with little help. Bad hay forage/grain season, bad weather,hot/cold, higher equipment prices with same....or in some cases... lower product value. The farmer can not absorb any further losses and survive. Thus ...last I heard...only 3/4 of one perent of our population live on a farm and in a declining state. Some say the construction industry is as vulnerable as the rancher. Not true. The construction job can wait a few days when it rains, to hot, snow...and resume.... little if any loss. We can't wait..when the production time is right no room for delay. No second chance.
