I don't ranch/farm/raise cattle for a living. Which, to me, makes any loss that I have an even bigger hit b/c it's a higher percentage of my money invested. However, I also understand that in any business venture there will be loss. This is the nature of business. No one likes it to happen, but it's inevitable.
As humans, we like to think that we can control all loss, and prevent anything from turning out in any form other than what we intended. That being said, we like to move into a situation and completely dominate it. We think that because we, as humans, have a larger cerebral cortex than any other animal on the planet, can therefore dominate/own/control all situations. In the end is this a good thing? I don't believe so. I think it's hurt a lot more than it's helped. Look at the eradication or introduction of certain species. We think we can control a situation to the point of "This isn't going to get out of control," and it most certainly always does. We take things out environments and we add things to environments, and in the end the environment is screwed up. Wolves are part of the natural environment for a reason. By taking them out, we've done some damage. Now that they're introduced again people are scared, upset, and mostly angry. But should we just eradicate everything we don't like?
