[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1645612, member: 17025"] I could not find anything about managing their numbers, other than: These cattle have a rather unusual status, being of a husbanded species but living as a wild animal. As being of the bovine species, they would be culled if they contracted foot-and-mouth disease. Special considerations apply to health monitoring and maintenance of biosecurity is a matter of the highest priority. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chillingham_cattle The last time anybody dared to treat the Wild White Cattle as fair game was in October, 1872, when the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) visited Chillingham Estate and decided to give chase. A “shoot” was duly arranged by the keepers. https://www.nytimes.com/1976/08/22/archives/englands-wild-white-cattle-the-wild-white-herd-of-chillingham.html [/QUOTE]
