Elk Abandonment?
:wtf:

http://www.swtimes.com/



COREY S. KRASKO • TIMES RECORD

Danny Johnson feeds cattle pellets Thursday to some of the elk he is caring for on a ranch near Roland. Johnson has been struggling to keep the herd of about 80 animals fed for several months since losing contact with the owner of the property.

3. That stinks.
I love animals, and of my favorites, the deer family is right up there. I hope someone gets this taken care of.

5. my thoughts exactly
it's a little town across the border in Oklahoma

I'm sure that the front page story in today's paper here in Ft. Smith (AR) will get some attention to this problem.

Besides, they can't find him? :wtf:

10. one would think
the elk aren't registered with the state so they are in quarantine for wasting disease.

I dunno what the state's position is on them if they were abandoned and no one cared for them, my guess is they would kill them. :(

don't know that for sure, but they can't be sold or moved because of the quarantine

11. but -- i'm guessing -- you can't abandon them
neglect them -- even if they are in quarantine.

again i don't know -- but there must be some kind of cruelty laws?

8. I'll see what I can find out lost
they are beautiful animals

and yes, they have trust

they won't eat the native grasses because they aren't native to here

so they have to be fed

thanks!

13. "...and still others to stock commercial hunting operations..."
Enjoy the canned hunts you fucking bastard motherfuckers.

I say, shoe on the other foot. I hunt you, in a nonlethal fashion.

15. Those who control and dominate are themselves terrified of receiving that same treatment.
