You see, before the federal penalty for trafficking cattle there were no fences along the road. We here at DU all know the docile cattle are a fairly liberal bunch, and had their union rep work out a deal. It went something like if the government used a social program (read as entitlement) to put up the fences, then the more rebellious right wing cattle wouldn't face the death penalty for being in the road - trafficking, so to speak.
